[PLOT TWIST OF THE YEAR RIGHT? Someone leaves him in charge of children?!]
oh
that's
i mean
he was like fifteen when i met him
i uh
i forgot he's probably... older... here...........
[Elliot's point still stands, though, and Amal knows it. Alphinaud is a dedicated and successful diplomat who once led an army (poorly, but it was important for character development)... A few college courses is nothing.]
i'm overthinking this again aren't i
i'll... try what you said. he's been reaching out. maybe he doesn't remember me now, but he probably will soon. i can't hide forever.
Maybe just a little. You sound like a protective parent.
But you're right, you can't hide forever. And the less time you spend hiding away from him, the better off things will go between you two. I know it can be really nerve-wracking, but sometimes you gotta put yourself out there when there's someone you care about.
Hey c'mon. We don't really know each other that well, and you're still willing to help me out and listen to me. That seems like something a good person would do!
