Re: Call: Sam/Lou
[Only slightly modulated from before.] Good god, Sam, you're not selfish. You want someone who loves you, which is all anyone wants. Cris, he loves you. He'll get over himself eventually, even if I don't think I want to see his face again in the near future. I just don't know if the type of love he offers, the obsessive, all-consuming kind, where he can never be fully reassured by anyone, is the kind of love you want or need.
You'll be shocked to hear that most of this isn't even about you. It's about everyone's insecurities intersecting around you, with you as the object they act on, and it drives me mad watching it.
Neil will come back. It's not your fault if he decides to be melodramatic over his bad decision. Cris will always come back to you, because he loves you, if you want him. You didn't make anyone worse. They were like this when you got there, it only takes a while for the other side of people to show.
