Then they came for intending students weekend and he had to listen to Tate talk like he likes her and Tom talk about what he wants her to be. He listened, but hell, was he furious. Here he is talking about her being like everyone else. Of course there’s nothing wrong with that, but the girls he wants her to be like are the girls he broke up with in the first place! Why can’t he see her?
He watched her because she didn’t treat him like a god and found out her secret and told her he likes her and by all forms gave her the freedom to bare herself to him and show him who she is, terrifying and all, and made her think he accepted all of her only for this absolute bull! If it were him- but no, it’s not, so instead he gave him vague advice. It wouldn’t do him any good if they broke up anyway, but he’d rather he chose his path and not break her heart like that.
