"That's… not what I asked," she said, chuckling. "Yes, Marty and I avoided each other, but we weren't friends, and we weren't okay. Not by a long shot. He was doing stupid things, and I was doing stupid things, and neither of us was fine. We were both miserable and trying our best to keep going."
Savannah stared at him. "You told me that you're not interested, right? So why compare yourself to the two people who fell in love pretty much at first sight, who've done their best to create the fairy tale marriage? What I was asking before is now that you've told him you are not interested and there is this divide, do you feel that something is missing? Do you want to spend time with him even though you know that it would complicate things? And you know, being interested doesn't mean that you will end up married. That's me. For most people, being interested means that you're willing to try and be together and see where it goes. You can't decide what to do based on my experience, which is why I asked in the first place. Now that you talked to him, does it still feel right? And there is a difference between feeling right and ignoring. The first means you made the right decision, the later means you might have made the wrong one."
