It wouldn’t quite matter to me if you do or not, you know. [ it wouldn’t. it just completely obviously wouldn’t. ] I’m not going to be critiquing your living situation or life choices or friends. I’m just saying that… [ after years or just about nearly a lifetime of not expecting much from texas, she accepts it. there’s not terribly much to it. ] You don’t have to do something like that, that’s all. I don’t really mind if you like space from me. [ she basically assumes that’s always the case.

… she has to consider how much of that minding actually is a lie or not, because of course she wants to be close. constantly, always, but with the occasional caprice of a lone wolf even with her obsession. her tail flicks restlessly; of course she wants to be with texas, it may as well just be that she doesn’t really truly try to fulfill those most selfish personal wants. ]

Such an intimate thing you’re offering. If you regret it I might not even leave and you’ll really have to deal with me then.
