"Doesn't mean they don't love you." I said with a small laugh, smiling slightly as I looked over to her again. True, they don't see her too ofthen, but still, I think they'd like to. I do sort of wonder if they're notice she was gone though if I didn't say anything about it.

"Well, apparently a lot of people love me when they shouldn't," I mutter, laughing faintly.

"You're easy to love." I said with a small smile. "Anyway, would you rather have people hate you? Being loved isn't a bad thing." I said with a soft chuckle."

I smile faintly, deciding against saying that yes, sometimes it might be nice to have people... at the very least dislike me. Or... not really nice, exactly, but it would feel more right.

I smiled a little bit and shrugged slightly. I didn't know what to say now, but I was trying to think of something just so we weould keep talking and she wouldn't leave.

"Give them both a hug for me, will you?" I ask after a moment. "At least so they don't feel abandoned or any such thing."

I nodded a little bit, "Yeah.. I'll do that." i said with a small smile to her. "Not sure abandoned would be the right word, but yeah, they don't has far as I know."

"No... I didn't think so either," I say, shaking my head. "But I don't know a word that does work. I want them to know I do care, I guess." I shrug slightly.

I shrugged faintly, "They'll know.." I said with a faint smile. "Don't wory about it."

I nod, then smile slightly. "'Course I won't...."

I smiled and nodded a little. "Good." I said with a small nod, now having my mind go blank and sighing slightly.

I nod in return, smiling faintly, though that last statement was not exactly sincere. More of a joke, since I worry about everything. But there's really no purpose in clarifying this.

"I feel like there's something else I want to say, but I can't think of it.." I said after a moment, feeling slightly annoyed with myself. I didn't even know when the next time I was going to see her was and I couldn't think of what to say.

"Mm... that's a fun feeling," I nod. I wonder how long I should wait for him to come up with it before saying goodbye.

"Tell me about it.." I said in a slightly hushed tone to myself, rubbing my head for a second before shaking my head a little. ".. I dunno... I can't think of it." I added giving a weak sort of half smile to her, that only lasted a moment or two.

I bite my lip at that, as there really doesn't seem to be a reason, in that case, for us to still be here. But I really don't think I want to leave yet.

I sighed slightly, trying not to think about so it would stop annoying me. Plus, sometimes if you stop thinkng about something, it'll come to you. Either that, or it'll wait until that person leaves. "I'm sorry for.. being a reason that you're leaving." I said after a few moments, unsure of what to say, so saying that, then wondering if I should be apoligising for that or not.

I shrug, trying to stifle the automatic impulse to tell him that he doesn't need to apologize.
"Not like it's entirely your fault or anything. I mean... it's not so much that you're the reason as that we're the reason, yes? It's not...." I shrug again and shake my head, dropping it.

I listened to her and nodded slightly, actually feeling a little better at that for some reason. "That makes sense.." I said quietly, nodding a bit. ".. It's not what?" I asked a moment later, looking over to her, seeing her shaked her head and then deciding I should probably just drop it.

"Nothing...." I shrug again, shaking my head. "I started a sentence that didn't have an ending, that's all."

I nodded a little bit. "Okay." I said in reply, looking down to my hands for a moment, twisting my wedding ring in circles around my finger. ".. Arden.. Do you think I'll ever be a little close to being your best friend?"

I bite my lip again thoughtfully, interlacing my hands again.
"Maybe if I let you," I say after a moment. "If I get my head straightened out, and can ignore this stupid... crush-thing, and come back and actually give you a chance, maybe. To be honest, it's more my fault than yours... possibly. Maybe I just won't let myself entirely get past that first impression of you as an idiot."

I nodded slgihtly, unsure of how exactly I should feel about what she just told me. There were a lot of maybes in that and I wasn't sure I liked it too much. But then again, how could there not be a maybe in the answer of the question I just asked. Maybe is better than no.
"It's been ten years and your first impression of me's still hanging around?" I asked her frowning slightly and shifting my eyes from her down to my ring again, continueing to twirl it.
"And if I can get around the stupid crush thing, then I think you'll be able to too.." I added quietly with a small nod. Especially becuase the longer I sat with her the less I seemed to think it was just a stupid crush.

"In a way," I shrug. "Maybe. Riley, I really don't know. I'm making this up on the spot."
It really shouldn't hurt, the second thing he's said. It really, really shouldn't. So maybe if I tell myself that often enough, it won't.

I shrugged faintly and then just nodded a little. "Okay.. I understand." I said quietly, letting out a small breath.

I nod, letting out a deep breath, and make to raise myself up to my feet before thinking better of it.
"Well, that's good to know."

I nodded faintly, "Yeah.." I said with a small sigh, biting my lip slightly, as I continued to play a little with my ring. "Um.." I started to say about to say something else, but forgeting it again. This was really getting ridiculous. ".. shit.. nevermind. I forgot again." I said quietly, shaking my head a little.

I laugh very faintly, shrugging. "That's all right. Gives us a reason to stay here a little bit longer."
