You say, after I've come over because I wanted to spend time with you. I realize friendship and relationship are different levels of time desired, but you've at least achieved the one.
[Not with many, sure, but she's started.]
When we first met, I only kept bothering you because making you snap was... safe. Now? You're a friend, Velanna. To myself, to Nate... I daresay Bethany may consider you one as well, and there are no doubt others. I'd know who, but my stalking days are long past. Be someone you like, and look for what there is to like in others.
