Hey. Dutch asked me to go home early. Don't really know what's up. I planned to loop back around. If you want to stay a little.

that's fine. might be good for her to spend time alone with you

Are you sure? I'm sure it'd be fine for you to come too. If you wanted. I don't want to strand you on Thanksgiving.

if i want so badly to go, i'll steal reggie's car

Always approved. Obviously.

[...]Are you ok?

i think [...] dutch doesn't find me that fun anymore. prescott narc vibes

You do not have those. Definitively. And you're way more fun than me.
Did she say something?

just a feeling i got. [...] she did say something that i think is probably true, and i'm mad at myself for caring about it

What is it?

she said i shouldn't flirt with jem because he's going to hurt my feelings

I mean.
That's always a risk.

why can't i like nice boys instead

Boring, unfortunately.

it's just so embarrassing to give a man the power to hurt your feelings. i'm going to ignore him

Take the power back.
But. I will risk someone building me a jail. If he does.

ok dramatic. [...] do you think i seem like a fragile person

I think the opposite. Actually.

she doesn't worry about you. idk if it's bc it's jem or bc i seem that fragile

I'm sure it's the Jem thing.
She cares about both of you. A lot.

yeah. [...] prob better for him too if i just stop talking to him

Is that really what you want to do?

i mean, no. but i don't want him to get hurt either

Everything good runs a risk. Of getting hurt. One way or another.

And no one is better off without you in their life.

ok but this isn't even anything. a few conversations. i don't even know if he likes me. ~~i think he seems~~

you have me. and the fort has me. that's all i need

I know. But I guess. I just don't want you to stop talking to him. Because of something someone else is scared of. Even Dutch. When we'd find a way to deal if someone did get hurt.

But. You have me too. And the fort. No matter what.
[...] We took another pie. I'm saving some for you. We can have bedtime dessert.
