Re: Jack/Liam
[A long pause.] I'm glad you had a good time, Liam. I did too. But it shouldn't have been with me. I'm not your doctor anymore but I still have a responsibility, an ethical responsibility towards you.
I can't be interested. I can't look at you and see the possibility, the what ifs, I can't look at you and say that you are or aren't attractive because that means I've looked at you like you could be, like that possibility exists and I can't do that.
It's not that it's you. It's me. And maybe if I had never known you and I was never your doctor, I could say something different about it, but I can't because that maybe doesn't exist. You were my patient and that means something to me, but it doesn't mean, and it can never mean that I see you as a person that I might want to have sex with.
I'm sorry, Liam. I don't want to hurt you, I've never wanted to hurt you. Please believe that. And I am glad that you had a good time and you didn't come away from it hurt -- you don't deserve that. And I'm sorry if this conversation has tarnished that for you, but I do hope you understand what I'm saying to you.
