"I mean, there are associates-slash-acquaintances, useful contacts, favour friends, fun friends, helpmates, confidantes, work friends, Facebook friends, frenemies, best friends...there's a whole list out there. It's not just friend-or-enemy, and if that's how you think the world works, Alisa, then I'm kind of glad we did break up. You clearly can't see beyond extremes, and I'm glad you're starting to realize that. It's all kinds of unhealthy."
He hadn't really glanced at the laptop when she'd pulled it out to show the file to him. As he'd said earlier, he knew that she'd find some way of justifying her actions, and no matter how rooted in truth they may or may not have been, Alisa had never been one to back down and really see the error of her ways.
"Anyone ever tell you that you're zero to sixty when it goes from being passive-aggressive to just straight up aggressive?" he asked. "Honestly, I don't care that you were in school plays or that you wanted to be an actress. That past of yours was something that we had never discussed - something that literally just came up right now, with a file that you just somehow happened to have oh-so-handily. You have to understand that, where I was coming from, and from the conversation we'd been having that day in the Pier, it just seemed really weird and clingy to me. I mean, you still don't get how weird the fact that you changed your eyes for my brother - who you'd never even met - was, do you?"
"Seriously, Alisa." Ryan stood up. "Stop always playing the victim and stop flip-flopping around between everything in your life. Grow up, make some decisions, and stand by them, otherwise the next guy you get involved with might get fed up and walk out on you as well."
