Oh, Dan. Hi.

Jade. You know, having a computer outside
can allow ants to crawl inside it.

I'm willing to risk it. It really is such a nice day
out. Perfect for writing.

I agree. Crisp leaves, the gradient of a blue
sky above us...I can almost smell the pumpkin
lattes right now.

Wow. Where'd you read that?

Nowhere, I just figured to impress a writer,
you must speak like a character from a stupid
novel.

Right. Well, there's no need to impress me, now.
Phil and I are pretty much over.

What happened? I saw you guys a few days ago
and you seemed fine.

Yeah, but it was awkward. He didn't bring up the
kiss, so I didn't...I assume you've heard about
that disaster?

Kinda.

Figures, what would he hide from you?

A shit-ton, apparently.

Oh, yeah? What's going on?

We had a sorta-fight last night, since he's just
been so distant lately. We never fought, before...

Before I came.

Kinda.

I always tend to screw things up, don't
I?

Maybe this, but not always. I assume.
Sorry, that was insensitive.

It's fine. I deserve it, stepping in between you
two. For what it's worth, you'd make a cute couple.

Oh, we're not like that.

Phil may hide things from you, but what he does,
he can never hide from me. At least, he could
never. Goodbye, Dan Howell. Maybe I'll see
you again.

Hopefully. Jade...

Yeah?

I really am sorry. I shouldn't have acted
like that. Maybe...maybe things could've turned out
differently, if I hadn't.

What's good for me isn't for you. I'm glad
someone is happy out of this. Besides, I'll
find another love. You...well, you work at
a gay bar.

Thanks.

No problem.

I guess this is goodbye, then?

Aren't you glad?

Strange...parting is such sweet
sorrow.

Wrong kind of moment for that.

Right, sorry.
