"I thought I was the one that should be apologizing though.." I said after a moment with a small shrug. Mainly for mentioning Logan.

"I don't know," I shrug, shaking my head. "I don't care. How might you be?"

I shrugged a little bit, before letting out a slight sigh and eaning against the tall bookshelf, hoping it was sturdy enough to lean on. I wasn't exactly sure how I should answer that, "... Single, again." I said with a small nod, glancing over to her. ".. And sort of sick, but you already know that part."

"Yeah, I did." I nod, frowning slightly. "But what do you mean, single again? You and Charlotte?"

I nodded, "Yeah, she got back from New Zealand yesterday.. so I went to see her and then she accused me of cheating on her."

I shake my head a bit, then raise my eyebrows. "... Did you?"

"No." I said looking over to her, a bit like she was crazy. "And you should know actually, cos apparently, I was kissing you in the middle of Diagon Alley, according to her."

"Ah, I see." I nod, then shrug. I don't think I really need to say that it's not like he's never cheated on anyone, and if I was accused of such a thing I wouldn't find it that odd if I was asked if it was true. Mildly insulting, yes, but still deserved.
"And she won't take your word that you didn't? Doesn't really sound like a keeper anyway."

"I mean, I understand why she asked me about after.." I stopped myself. That could have been unpleasant, not to mention I don't think I could say that I accidentally said Arden's name once at a time I really shouldn't be saying it infront of her. That was way too embarrassing. I shook my head. "Just in general, really.." I shrugged a little bit.
"No, she won't." I answered eventually with a faint shrug. ".. Maybe not."

After what? I think, but not with any burning curiosity. I assume that he let something slip about how he thinks of me as more than a friend. He's not exactly wonderful at keeping such things to himself.
"Hm...." I say eventually, then shrug. "So... are you all right then?"

I shrugged a little bit. "I guess so.." I said after a moment. "Sort of mad that she couldn't believe me though.. but I guess my kids didn't really like her anyway." Not that they really like anyone, lately.

"I guess that's understandable," I shrug. "And yeah... wouldn't've worked out anyway, I guess."

I shrugged a little bit. "I guess I see why she wouldn't believe me though.." I said after a moment, taking my glasses off again and cleaning them off again, this time with my undershirt, so they would actually be clean. I put them back on a moment later. "Yeah, maybe not.." I shrugged a little bit. "... Maybe I should just give up on relationships."

"Maybe so," I agree, shrugging slightly and looking at the ground a moment. "At least... for a little while maybe. Not forever."

"I dunno... I thought maybe she would grow on them." I shrugged faintly again. "Maybe.." I paused again. "I know this probably sounds over dramatic, but I should probably just spare myself the pain. I feel like there's something I'm doing wrong." I said it a bit slowly, playing a bit with the end of my sleeve.

"Well, I don't think that's it," I say, shaking my head. "Though, other than that I think you're finally talking sense. You're just... not having very good luck right now. It's nothing to do with you."

I guess it felt good to hear her say that, but I still wasn't that sure. But for now I was going to take her word for it, so I nodded a little bit.
"Yeah, maybe it is just bad luck." I said with a faint nod, biting my lip for a second. "Hope it's not me, at least." I added with a faint chuckle.

"I can only speak for myself, but not in my case." I shrug, smiling weakly.

I smiled faintly over to her at what she said. "Thanks, Arden" I said with a faint laugh. "We never got to a relationship though.. maybe that's where I mess up." I shrugged a little bit, but kept the small smile.

"It was sort of a relationship," I shrug. "And I really can't see you doing anything wrong."
Right, except for cheating that... couple of times. But that was with me so I doubt it would apply if we did have a relationship. Not that it really matters anyway because we're not going to....
"I mean, really - how do you think you messed up with Charlotte?"

"Sort of, I guess. I don't think I really thought it was though.." I said with a faint shrug. "That's good.. the not doing anything wrong.." I added glancing over to her.
I paused at her question and shrugged slightly, "I.." I paused again, trying to find something and eventually shook my head, only thinking about one thing which I didn't want to say aloud. "Just a couple things." I said, shaking my head a little bit.

I shrug, deciding not to press it as it's really none of my business. "Everyone messes up occasionally though."

Actually come to think of it.. it was only that one thing. I couldn't think of anything else. I was generally doing pretty well with our relationship. "Yeah, but, it's not really something anyone should be messing up on." I said shaking my head a little bit. "But yeah, you're right."

"I suppose," I shrug slightly. "I don't know. I mean, like I've said, it's not like I know a whole lot about not screwing up in relationships."

"I meant specifically what I did." I added, shaking my head faintly. "Not just the general relationship.." I wasn't sure if she got that or thought I meant something else, so I clarified without really thinking about it. Then realizing I could have left it alone.
I shook my head faintly. "I don't think you're that bad."

"... Right," I nod, then shake my head because now he's just being intriguing but it's really none of my business.
I laugh slightly then after the second thing he says, shaking my head again. "We weren't dating. And I still managed to treat you pretty horribly."

I smiled faintly, letting out a very small laugh. "What happened to, 'sort of'?" I asked looking over to her again. "Honestly, I don't think you have any idea what it's like to be dating me." I shrugged faintly with the small smile still.
I shrugged a little bit again. "I don't think it's as bad as you think." I shook my head faintly.

I laugh slightly. "You're not really helping your argument that I should, you know." Then I shrug, looking at the ground. "Why do you think me and Logan broke up? We both just... messed up too much."

I laughed a little and shook my head. "I didn't mean that in a bad way." I smiled. "I think I'm nice to date." I shrugged faintly.
I shrugged. "I wasn't really sure.. I just thought it didn't work out.. or he needed to leave. Or something."

"Didn't really sound like that, I'm afraid." I shake my head again, then shrug, looking at the floor. "That was part of it, too, yeah."
