don't be sorry at all! i absolutely love what you have for her so far. maybe they were roommates early on in their careers and were super supportive of one another while they were trying to make it. i can see them maybe have a busy phillips/michelle williams kind of relationship where they have been friends for ages and continue to be there for each other more than any kind of spouse/significant other could be? where it's like "yeah, mona is part of my deal" and if she doesn't vibe with whoever she is dating then it doesn't work out at all.
