It should have been a simple question, but it really didn't feel like that. Of course it had mattered, he knew that it hadn't been some meaningless fuck with a random girl he met at the club. It had been Abi. Didn't that change things? Make it matter more?
"If I want it to? What- does it not matter to you?" he asked, apparently not wanting to commit to whether it mattered to him. He rather knew that if he was to keep her on, it would be to string her along until he could figure out how to be with Abi.
