Emma: He's annoying.

Kaylee: YOU DO!

Emma: Maybe.

Kaylee: So? What's the game plan?

Emma: He's way into this whole 'you're just a kid, I can't see you as a sexual being' thing.

Kaylee: I doubt it.

Emma: He's not going to go for it.

Kaylee: I thought the same thing.

Emma: But Brendon was so obviously into you.

Kaylee: Really? Because I remember you being surprised and pissed.

Okay, that might be true.

But in hindsight, it was super obvious.

Kaylee: Do you want to make it happen?

Emma: I don't know. I want to find him irritating, but I like when he's around. God, last night, I was so freaked, but the second I heard his voice it was okay. Even though he was totally judging me for drinking.

Kaylee: What happened last night?

Emma: I overreacted.

Kaylee: To?

Emma: I was on a date. He kissed me. I wasn't feeling it.

Kaylee: Oh.

The two letters speak volumes.

It's like with my new lack of judgment.

We both know it's there.

I never told Kaylee what happened with Vinnie. But she came home to me sobbing in the shower after my date.

She saw the way everything changed.

How I went from flirting with him, wearing cute stuff around the building, generally being my take charge self to…

Whatever this is.

Maybe she doesn't know for sure.

But she's got a pretty good idea.

Kaylee: Listen, Em. Whatever reason you have for moving out, it's okay. I'll tell Brendon there was a noise complaint. I'll drop it if that's what you need. But you should talk to someone. Even if it's a professional.

Emma: Am I that crazy?
