I think that reporter lady liked me.

It felt weird.

I'm sorry, Thomas. Did she do something in particular that made you uncomfortable?

[suave_thomas]

No, not at all. She just like...looked at me and stuff.

Well, looking at you in a way that made you feel uncomfortable and still a thing, and ought not to be dismissed if that's the way you felt. I suppose she meant no harm, though. As Mary said, you are attractive. Is there anything I might do to make you feel better?

[suave_thomas]

No it wasn't all...leery. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you if I did.

Thomas... you're an attractive, charming and charismatic man. It's only natural that people are drawn to you. I'm sorry it felt weird for you. Is it just because you weren't used to it in life, or is there something more?

[suave_thomas]

Well it happened in high school, but I was tall and I have two older brothers with reputations. Good reputations not like...he'll egg your house repu...anyway.

It just felt weird. Maybe because I'm not looking for anything. So seeing someone attracted to me and knowing I wasn't looking to reciprocate...I guess that's new?

[lady_with_thee]

Ah, I see. In that case, I think it's just the fact that you're a good man kicking in. You saw someone who wanted something from you, something that in theory you might have been able to provide, but in practice it's neither possible nor indeed, practical. Maybe you just didn't like the fact that what she wanted, you weren't able to give? You're such a giving man, Thomas.

Thank you, Mary.

I just don't want anyone else. The idea of being with anyone else is all...just no. And I guess I feel bad to be wanted when I just...don't.
