Hey

{grins}
Hey, Chris

Sorry, are you busy?

No, the family and
I are just walking
home from Nando's
{stifles a laugh}

Oh, I can call back
later?

No, no it's fine.
I'll just hang back
and catch up with
them.

Cool, uh sorry I
didn't call when you
were in Amsterdam

It's okay, {breathes}
what are you doing?

I'm just hanging with
Dodger {pauses} I've
been thinking about
you

{smiles} Oh, yeah?

{laughs} Nonstop,
actually.

Is it just me or is
this way more
awkward than it is
in the movies?

{chuckles} yeah,
yeah it is. I don't even
know what to say

{laughs} Neither
do I.

Can I ask a question?

Of course.

When did you start
having feelings for me?

We sound like
year 7's {laughs} uh,
probably before my
accident, that one
night the whole civil
war cast went out,
and I was there to
celebrate Tom getting
his part with you all.
You were laughing,
all night {breathes
shakily} and you
remembered me from
the first brief time we
met at the first
avengers premiere.

You realised you had
feelings for me the night
before your accident?

{sighs} You remember
the specific date
of my accident?

I remember blaming
myself myself for it
because it was my
fault you were so
hungover that morning

{Breaths heavily} It
wasn't your fault,
Chris. There was a
drunk driver.

Yeah, yeah I know,
I just-

No, it wasn't your
fault. It was my fault
and it was the other
drivers fault. I knew
I shouldn't have
been drinking that
night and I did
anyway. That's not
on you

[silence]

Wait, is that why
you've been speaking
to me so much?
Spending so much
time with me?
Because you feel
responsible for my
accident?

What? No. Well,
yeah, at first. But I've
always liked you, Faye.
I never made a move
because of your brother,
I didn't want to make
the working atmosphere
uncomfortable.

I get that, I really
do. To be honest,
I don't really care
why you started
talking to me because
those conversations
and 'dates' {laughs}
I value them. They- you
really helped me

I'm glad, and I feel
the same way, so what
should we do?

I just proper need
to take things slow,
okay?

That's not a problem,
whatever you need to
be comfortable around
me.

[silence]

You're coming to
my launch party,
aren't you?

I wouldn't miss it
for the world

Then I guess I'll
see you then,
dumbass {grinning}

{chuckles} Yeah, you
will. Bye, Faye.
