"Not anywhere where I'd allow you to keep going."

They had actually kissed. 

No, that was the thing Burt would never let go.

"Alright."

Was that really the end of the conversation?

Burt was just gonna go back to his seemingly emotionless persona?

"If you're done here, I'd recommend talking to someone else. Otherwise you'll make it awkward."

"I don't talk to anyone else, mostly. You're the only one."

"Get out of your Swedish shell and talk to someone, then."

Sven crossed his arms.

"Not with the way you're talking to me."

"It's a win-win for me. If you decide to go away, you'll be building up your confidence. And I won't have to listen to you rant in Swedish. But if you stay here, I'll get to keep listening to you."

"In the first reason, you collided with your second reason-"

Both were silent for a moment.

"And why do you want to listen to me?"

"Because I like hearing your voice. You're a very interesting person, Sven."
