Replying...
Intro. Since that night at the bar, I've tried to act like it's nothing. An out is an out, right? Usually I just move on. But that conversation... It didn't leave my head. It wasn't just the way you told me no. It was the connection that appeared in the middle of it all, as if we had entered the same tune without even realizing it. I could pretend I don't care. It would be easier. But the truth is, few people can get me to stop and pay real attention—and you did. So I'll be blunt: if the only way to have a chance to figure out how far this can go is to take you seriously, then that's exactly what I'm willing to do. Because since that night it was clear to me that ignoring what happened between us would be much harder than trying.
