It’s okay. I’m sorry you’re going through this. […] It was obvious to me that something wasn’t right. I should have said instead of assuming you would keep something from me on purpose.
Oh, yeah. That’s probably a good idea. She left in a hurry with Sal. How’s Linus?
The blank spots, […] I don’t think I could do that on purpose even if I wanted to.
Linus wasn’t happy. […] I almost don’t want to tell him much more because he has a lot on his plate already, being a new Explorer and the stuff his father. And Evan […] told me that she loved me platonically after I threw up in the bathroom, so I really need to think about how I’m going to talk to her again. Maybe give things more time. I don’t know.
Yes, that's what's so great about him, unfortunately for me.
No, I just threw up. I didn't even know how I got in the bathroom. The circumstances weren't exactly conducive to warm, fuzzy feelings. [...] Did you happen to see how quickly she left the party, by any chance?
The Toblerone bars Evan bought me, each one costs almost $120 online, more with shipping. And she got me three. Maybe partially as a fuck you for asking her about her “vacation,” but also because it probably doesn’t occur to her she doesn’t have to go into debt to make someone else happy. My sister was the same way, she’d trade her lunch vouchers for Yu-gi-oh cards because she knew I liked them. You know my lighter? Jules stole that for me. I was 8, I didn’t even smoke, I just liked Charmander. […] It’s not a good comparison.
Jesus, okay, well ... is that really the only reason you care about her? Because you see similarities between her and Jules?
Obviously, if you don't feel the same way, you shouldn't say it. But if she feels that she loves you, you've probably told her in other ways already and she may just need help understanding that.
Actually, Annie, forget I said that. Trying to keep it fun as Guy You Fuck rather than Guy With Stupid Problems, and as it is I already have memory issues. […]
Lol, “Jesus, okay” is right. Sorry, got a little too much there. I’ll figure out what to say to Evan. But I wouldn’t sweat it, she has Sal.

Date: 2023-09-07 12:58 am (UTC)I guess I should apologize to Evan now. She said I wasn’t myself and I didn’t believe her.

Date: 2023-09-07 01:59 am (UTC)Do you want me to talk to him? Just to let him know that I know and we’re looking into it.
[…]
I’m sorry, this is so rude to bring up right now but it’s better that I don’t stew (believe me). She actually said the word ‘platonically,’ right?
DM, 9/6
Date: 2023-09-07 02:24 am (UTC)That exact word. [...] Annie, if I thought something was up with Evan, I'd tell you. It's not rude you're asking, it's just really not like that.
DM, 9/6
Date: 2023-09-07 02:29 am (UTC)Okay! I believe you. I didn’t think so, but I had to ask. […] Did you say it back?
