Writing an app for hollyheights

Yeah. Sounds like a great plan.

Well, at least you're not thinking of sending Agnes anymore.

Oh, I do now even if it's kind of awful but I didn't before, not for the longest time. I lived in a forest, and before that, a wagon.

You mean closer than being just friends?

[hoo boy. that's a tricky one. maybe he would have a long time ago, but he sorta has a track record for running people like that away. and if he hasn't already, it's inevitable that he does, so...]

I don't know. Maybe it would be harder, but you still care about them, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Then I think it still counts.

I don't think he'd feel the same way. I...

[deep breath. he crosses his arms, looking mighty self-conscious.]

...I messed up, big time. Even if I still care, I don't know if he does. I thought if I took responsibility for it, he might come back. That's how it usually works, doesn't it?
