Don't want anything with him. I've known him close to a year now. We're friends. [ Said simply, just like that. We're friends, like that's all he needs to say. And for a moment, it is.

Said he used to do it back where you guys were from.
[ A beat. ]
Also said that you guys didn't get along anymore. But you still care about him, right?
