liam--fox​:

All set up, you can sit on the bed, it’s the best way to see the screen.

Fine.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

Okay, you got a deal.

Okay.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

Do you want to watch a movie?

Fine. One movie, and then you try and ring your sister to get me out of here, surely she won’t still be too busy by then.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

I think she’s a little preoccupied.

Of course.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

She’s locked it from the outside, we don’t really have an option.

Can’t you ring your sister?

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

I’ll stay out of your way. I know we’re locked in. but I’ll just shut up and read. And I have some spare books around if you want to pass time like that as well.

I really should be getting back to work.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

I’m sorry. I wish I could have prevented that.

Yeah. Me too.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

Because things have changed for you as well?

Because you broke my heart.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

How can I fix it?

I don’t know. I thought trying to have a strict professional relationship would fix it but I’m not so sure that will work anymore...

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

And then to find out all that was a lie...that I’d be so heartbroken over a lie-...

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

And I get it. You want it to go back to a professional relationship, and I will respect that. 

Hearing about you and Savannah broke my heart.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

I have feelings for you.

Oh.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

If that’s what you want…we can.

What else is there?

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

I know. And I just wanted to see you, to spend time with you. But I actually really like reading.

And that is great, I’m so happy for you but I don’t understand why we can’t just go back to employee and employer.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

Hey listen, if you don’t want anything to do with me, I understand.

I have been saying that to you for weeks, and then you showed up in my book club.

[florencemonroe]

liam--fox​:

I wanted to tell you, I really did. The only reason I didn’t was because I guess I didn’t really feel like it was my secret to share.
