Look, I know that. I know she's worried about what people will think and that they'll judge. And there's all these taboos and-and a whole lot of other stuff and I don't care about those. I told her as much. She said she liked me back, even.

But- she also said that she didn't think I'd hurt her any more than was necessary. Like she's expecting me to hurt her, even though I've told her until I was blue in the face that I'd not do that. What sort of relationship are we supposed to have if she's expecting something like that no matter what? All the patience in the world isn't going to change that.
