But how am I supposed to do that? I didn't do anything different, they all just kinda happened.

[He sighs a little.]
I can give you a charm. So you’ll know you’re dreaming.

[ It's hard to imagine it getting any worse than it's already been. ]
Is the real reason you're worried about this because you think he's in love with you?
no subject
I know he’s in love with me.

[Hes quiet again.]
So what the heaven do I do?
no subject
Look, he's just gonna get mad if you bring it up, so if you don't wanna deal with that, don't say anything.
