"No, you're not."

"But I am."

"Okay, I'll go with it for now. Why?"

"I... Never mind."

"Don't tell me you only called to say you're a horrible person. Tell me."

"...I hooked up with that guy from the museum last night. Go judge me now."

"Hooked up as in...?"

"Yeah. But I just left afterwards. I didn't even wait until the morning. As soon as he fell asleep, I fled. Couldn't get out of there fast enough."

"Did you have fun, though?"

"Caspar! Have you been listening?!"

"Yeah, but you went out with him on the day you met. For drinks. And he took you home with him. Sounds like he knew what he was gonna get."

"I wouldn't know; I don't do these things, ever. I don't... Do people think that's who I am when they meet me?!"

"Oh, come on. You just said it yourself – it happened, once! Most people do it all the time. If it makes you feel bad, you can always call him and explain yourself."

"It's not just about him. I... Yes, I might've been a little drunk, but I knew what I was doing. Mostly."

"And he probably knew what he was doing. Stop stressing yourself out, man. Sometimes you need a break, especially when you look at how your year started."

"Mmmh."

"You know I'm right. You're so easy on other people and never on yourself."

"That's not... I thought it would make me feel better. I thought I was doing it for myself. I thought I could move on and forg-... Oh god, Troye."

"What?"

"Oh no. No no no no."

"Connor. What?!"

"What if he knows? What if he knows that I slept with Tyler? Oh god, I bet he already knows. Of course he knows. What-"

"Connor, stop."

"But this is so fucked up."

"It's been fucked up for a long time now, if you ask me."

"..."

"Connor?"

"I'm thinking."

"No, you're overthinking."

"..."

"Connor."

"..."

"How about a walk through the park?"

"I don't... Shit. Yeah, okay."

"In 30?"

"Sure. We'll meet you outside."

"Cool."
