casual thing ..

[everett howe]

E. Howe I didn't want to add more to your plate so that's why I didn't either.

[ruby anderson]

R U B Y i understand. i am really surprised you didn’t block me.

[everett howe]

E. Howe I’ve never blocked anyone before, never needed to. I wouldn’t have done that to you.

[ruby anderson]

R U B Y you're such a nice person.

[everett howe]

E. Howe I just try to be decent. You didn't do anything horrible to warrant that.

[ruby anderson]

R U B Y do you always see the good in people?

[everett howe]

E. Howe No, I’m usually told I’m pessimistic. But you insist you’re not a good person so maybe I’m just a bad judge of character.

[ruby anderson]

R U B Y you know you’re the only person I’ve ever said that to? i know others say it behind my back.

[everett howe]

E. Howe That’s really hard to imagine. You must lead a double life or something.

[ruby anderson]

R U B Y just because i'm nice to you doesn't mean everyone deserves it.

[everett howe]

E. Howe Am I an exception to the rule?

[ruby anderson]

R U B Y you were. i spoiled it and was really mean to you.

[everett howe]

E. Howe I don't know, maybe we can work back up to all that again. Take it slow.

[ruby anderson]

R U B Y how about we talk again when the summer ends? and we’re back at nyu? i have a lot to figure out and work through. plus see my therapist.

[everett howe]

E. Howe Sure, Ruby. You also don't have to make any promises.
