	[does noticed the change but thinks it's best not to say anything about it. instead, uses the surroundings of a distraction.] It is not as impressive as the inside, but the work they done out here is still beautiful to look at. Nothing really rare, not to say that you can't admire the simple things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whoever cares for these has a nice touch, and cares about the future of these plants... Do you think... in terms of love, if you care for something enough it will bloom for you? Or are there cases where it's hopeless... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you wish for it to happen and given the right circumstance, I believe it can. Love isn't something that happens straight away, it develops. But sometimes, it might not be so you can try and wait and hope, but sometimes it isn't enough. It is best to walk away before you get hurt too much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[thoughtful hum.] It's a bit of a heavy question for a date this early on but... what happened with your ex-wife? You don't have to tell me if that was rude to ask. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It's okay to ask. Actually, it might change your mind about me and you may not want the second date, but it is better for you to know now... than finding out down the road. [and yet, it is not so easy to say. how can you feel good when you were the reason your wife wanted to have multiple male appendages in her.] I got too involved in my work and... she felt neglected. [significantly changes his tone to sadness. he knows it was all his fault and he could have turned it around but he couldn't.] I took my work too seriously and I wasn't the man she wanted to be with anymore.

[easily picks up on the sadness, squeezing his hand and petting it softly.] A woman should be patient and understanding, your line of work isn't an easy one. If you were a doctor, what would the argument have been? Stop saving so many lives, I want some attention? Women who get involved with busy men should expect some degree of neglect. But they should also be the first one to greet him when he gets home with tired shoulders and hungers for a home-cooked meal. Some women can't handle that sort of lifestyle, but the man is yearning for her, too. That's what needs to be remembered.

... You have a good grasp at understanding it. It was never my intentions to force her away. When we met, I was just a rookie in training. Although the hours were long and hard, I still had that free time to go out and hang out with friends, chase the girl and when I got her, I lavished her with all the time I could give her. Progressively, it changes. I was promoted, I had to study for further promotions and when I made detective, you get thrown in with all the heavy cases that are time consuming. I can't blame work for everything, there could have been many times I set aside alone time just for us but I was too involved. If she only told me this, I could have known instead of getting a shock like I had. I just had no idea at all.

	There's a point, when you should speak up and when you should recognize that the reason a man is working so hard is to provide for his family. When he forgets his family, it's worth mentioning, but when he's working hard to make sure his family has a good life... then why would you want to punish him for that?

	She thought there was a reason to do so. It's the past now, our divorce is settled, there is no reason to focus on that. It was a mistake that was made and you learn and move forth is that information so you don't repeat it again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I understand. There is a certain quality you have that is able to cheer someone up, make them feel wanted. [even though she said she wasn't cold, wants to rub her arms down as if he was, resting his arms around her tiny waist.] It is strange, that we haven't known each other for that long at all but... I feel something there for you. I don't know what it is but it feels nice to be looked at the way you do, your perspective on everything. I probably don't make any sense right now.

	You don't make any sense. [confirms, teasing a bit.] You know that sometimes people talk about how you meet someone and it feels like you've known them for years, though you've only just met? It's like that, I think. Except that we really don't know much about each other. Which reminds me... I was supposed to say something about me, on every date, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[that's an easy one.] When I was a little girl, there was someone at the orphanage that always protected me, and helped me out. He would share his food with me, and just... was kind. In return, I would make him paper flowers, to the designs he said... it was an innocent kind of love, because I was young. And I guess I like the hero type. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Of course it is. All memories are special and unique and this one is a part of you. [but for his... well.] As long as you promise not to laugh. My first love was a crush on my grade six science teacher. I thought she was an amazing woman and a hot body of course which every hormonal student wants. On the way to school, I picked her some flowers from my mother's garden bed and took this bouquet in for her and confessed how I felt. Of course, it was shot down that fast but I was glad she didn't do it in the front of the class.

	She wasn't at least, and she was relatively new to teachings so she was still fairly young. I did cry but not in front of her. I knew that it wouldn't be allowed somewhere in the back of my mind but at that age, it felt like it could be something. Most people have a crush on their school teacher at some point, I was just lucky I got the nice one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
