Do anything fun today?
FaeAtHeart
Not really. Hung out with my brother and his roommate.
NotYourAverageJoe19
You don’t like his roommate?
FaeAtHeart
It’s complicated.
NotYourAverageJoe19
I’ve got time.
FaeAtHeart
You probably won’t want to hear about this. We should stick to books and music for now.
NotYourAverageJoe19
Try me. Maybe it will help you by talking to someone about it.
FaeAtHeart
There is a lot of history between the three of us. Not all of it is good.
NotYourAverageJoe19
But there were good things?
FaeAtHeart
Yes. That is half the problem.
NotYourAverageJoe19
What’s the other half of the problem?
FaeAtHeart
I’m the only one who seems to remember them.
NotYourAverageJoe19
How do you know they don’t?
FaeAtHeart
It’s pretty obvious.
NotYourAverageJoe19
Maybe you are missing those clues we were talking about the other day.
FaeAtHeart
I can’t read into those things. Not with this person.
NotYourAverageJoe19
Why not?
FaeAtHeart
If I did, then I would start to think he might actually be in love with me.
NotYourAverageJoe19
And that is a bad thing?
FaeAtHeart
I fell for that trap once before. I would be an idiot to do it again.
I don’t want to talk about them anymore. I want to talk about you. How was your day? I hope it was better than mine.
NotYourAverageJoe19
How do all of my best days wind up being your worst?
FaeAtHeart
I don’t know.
NotYourAverageJoe19
I wish there was something I could do to change that.
FaeAtHeart
You’re making it better now. That has to count for something.
NotYourAverageJoe19
I'll take what I can for now.
