Oh, come on now. Don't give me that "I'm good" nonsense. I've known you long enough to see through that facade.
Look Maya, it's not your fault. It's not anyone's fault. Shit just didn't work out between us.

I sigh looking at you sadly I really liked her... more than I should have. But hey, we can't force love

smirks playfully Oh, I wouldn't mind catching a whiff of sadness on you. Adds a certain charm, you know? But I understand, freshening up is a must.
I chuckle giving you a playful nudge You're such a tease. But I won't be too long.
