"I'm not interested in a relationship," Nelly finally replied. It was sort of a lie, but words that she wanted to make the truth. It wasn't that she didn't want to have someone be there for her, someone that loved her
that way, but she didn't believe that sort of thing was possible for her. As if being taller than many guys and not being pretty wasn't bad enough, she was even awkward and clumsy. She wasn't fit for a relationship. "Besides, it's not like he's serious."
"You know, he might be," Blaidds tried to encourage the thought. "Would he make such an effort to talk to you like that, otherwise?"
"I'm sure he talks to all girls that way."
