Why isn't--hold on. [So much for complete sentence number one. Moving to a different room might be good!] Why isn't York my boyfriend? How is that even a question? We're not. Why is 'why' the question here? He isn't. I don't know what kind of answer you want to that. We just live together.
I spent a good chunk of the part of my childhood where most remember learning arithmetic and childhood friends learning to read people. Their intentions, they desires, spoken or otherwise. I had a meal with you two.
You had a meal with flatmates and good friends. I recognize that York...finds me attractive. That's something he can deal with in the privacy of a long shower if he so pleases. [Or with other guys. Whatever.] The same can't be said in return. He's a bit male for my type.
[ Well. That's a different answer than the one she was expecting. Natalia is quiet on the other end of the line before her breath comes out in a huff. ]
I haven't made it a habit to get into relationships with any of my male friends, and I wasn't planning on starting now. Or my female friends. Did you think...I had deeper feelings for him? Is this because of how you saw us?

Goodnight, Malcolm. We should chat more often, I think.
