It was better I made it for dem dis time around." She blinked at his reactions towards her, then down to the cup of lukewarm water in her hand.

"Ryan, I 'ave moved on from you. I just told you dat I am happy for your an' your new girlfriend, no? It don' change dat dere will always be a lil' piece o' my heart dat cares for you. It just needs to care for you on a friendship level." she continued to look down at her water. "And as a friend, I saw you lookin' upset an' hurt. I was jus' tryin' to comfort and assure you. I didn' mean to upset you none."

She placed the water down on the nightstand by her bed and got up, standing up in front of Ryan.

"I wanna try sumt'ing I was never allowed to do, because I listened to de people who controlled me, an' everyone around me instead o' myself. An'... you may or may not laugh when I tell you what it is." She went back to smiling, walking away from him to the other side of the room. She took a good look out of the window. "Well, two t'ings."
