Stephen Jameson & Violet Parr
Violet understood where he was coming from, even if she was bummed that their approaches were different. Casual just wasn't really something she could do if it wasn't going to lead somewhere, but she also couldn't just keep on with something casual in the hopes that he might get to that point some day. That wouldn't be fair to either of them.
"It's okay," she replied, mustering up a smile. "Better to find out now, right? We can still be friends?" Violet certainly hoped so, since she did like spending time with him even if they didn't spend that time kissing or anything. The last thing she wanted was for him to feel bad about something that was an honest misunderstanding.
