Re: The Hallway.
"I'm trying to help him, Bunny. That's what I'm trying to do. Yeah, I should have said something before, but I didn't know if you'd understand or not." Luke barely paused to take a breath before continuing on in a rush. He didn't think, he just plowed forward. "I didn't just want you here, okay? I needed you here, which is why I asked you to be my date, but all I ended up doing was making things worse like I always do. That's not your fault, it's mine, and I just... I don't know." He finally ran out of steam and stared at the ground, trying to figure out how everything went downhill so quickly.
"I'm going to stop talking now," he said after a long pause, exhaling heavily. "Sorry. Just... take your time, and whenever you're ready we can go back inside."
