Sebastian:
You didn't come back last night.

Eden:
No. I went home. I had some last minute stuff to do with my final assignments. They're being submitted today.

Sebastian:
But you're not mad at me?

Eden:
Oh, I'm mad at you.

Sebastian:
Please will you let me explain?

Eden:
Take a second to consider how it looks to me, Sebastian.

Eden:
I try my hardest not to fall for this guy who is going out of his way to be the most amazing person I've ever met. He gives a shit about me, my interests, my life. He takes me a dates like nothing I've ever experienced before, and even though he tells me at some point during then that he only wants to be friends, he changed his mind. And I let myself think, no, he actually does want me, and he's willing to try.

Eden:
And then I find out that the only reason he took me on all those great dates, and showed such an interest was because he felt sorry for me, and my shitty history with men. Imagine how it feels to realise that, actually, he just wanted to make me feel better about myself.

Sebastian:
Eden, please. I know it seems that way, but none of it was fronted. I actually care about you. So much that it scares me. I've never cared about anyone this way before.

Eden:
I know you do. Believe me, I know. But I just need some time to process. Give me that time.

Sebastian:
Are we done? Is this it?

Eden:
No, we're not done.  We've had an argument, is all. It doesn't mean we're over babe.

Eden:
I'm just annoyed Seb, and a little hurt.

Sebastian:
I never wanted to hurt you. I didn't realise how stupid the whole notion was until now, not really.

Eden:
I know. And I know you probably had the purest intentions, but it's made me feel so small.

Eden:
Literally, this big. 🤏🏻

Sebastian:
I'm so sorry. I don't know what I can do to make it better. Please tell me, help me fix this.

Eden:
Let me submit my assignments and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sebastian:
Promise?

Eden:
Maybe. If I need a distraction.

Sebastian:
Eden you weren't a distraction I swear.

Eden:
I'm kidding. I promise you.

Eden:
Get back to work. You've had 5 days off. I don't think Karl pays you to message me.

Sebastian:
Okay. I miss you.

Eden:
Stop trying to butter me up.

Eden:
Miss you too.

Did I almost get you?
She's only a little bit mad. Don't worry. They're still going to get their happy ending.
