  1. She held him quietly for as long as he needed.
  2. "That doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt you, badly. Of course I'll be with you, Daniel. You can count on me to care, alright?" She moved closer to him, leaning in and wrapping her arms around him.
  3. "It's not fine, I can see that. But that's okay. I'm sorry, Daniel. I... is there anything I can do?"
  4. Tears immediately sprang to Julie's eyes. "I'm so sorry."
  5. "Yeah." The connection opened.
  6. They say down on the floor together, and Julie took his hand. "You ready?"
  7. "I don't think it will." She pulled away slightly to look at him. Her eyes were a bit red from crying, but her expression seemed happy. "Want to sit? We've been standing here for a while."
  8. "So... we'll do that now? It's really okay if you don't want to."
  9. She seemed to think on that. "I'd like to, if only to be able to talk to you and support your where I can. But it's alright if you aren't ready."
  10. "Yeah. It's alright. I know there are some things that just... yeah."

  17. "Clearly not at understanding other people."
  18. "You didn't do anything wrong. I'm just no good with these things."
  19. "I'm sorry for not believing you."
  20. "Everything." She held him tighter, then began to shake with quiet sobs.
  21. "What do you mean?"
  22. "I don't know." Tentatively, she reached out and embraced him. "Thank you."
  23. "...Is there something you want to say?"
  24. "I don't know if I said that the right way. There's really something. I just don't know how to describe it. But I do want to be around you, and I like it when you're near."
  25. "I can't really say I feel the same way. I don't know what I feel, and I don't understand what you feel very well. But... I feel something. Something different." She reddened over again.
