[Rey listened, nodding her head at Buck’s words. Her heart ached for him then, having shared in the same feeling more times than she could count. ]
Yeah, I get and it’s something that’s so natural—wanting to share with someone a few moments to connect and talk. Hard to do when you’re by yourself and you don’t want to call friends because you don’t want to bug them…
[Or inconvenience them. That was always something that lingered in the back of Rey’s mind. If she was being a bother to the people she held close to her. Of course, they would tell her that she wasn’t, but that was still a concern.]
Or, at least that’s what I worry about. I didn’t realize how much I’d want something like that until I moved for Uni. Wanting someone to talk to—especially when I was in new country.
[As for how she didn’t know she was someone, Rey had to shyly duck her head. When she looked up, she saw Buck’s smile on his face. An embarrassed smile tugged on the corners of her mouth. ]
I didn’t date in high school or much in Uni. I was so focused on getting my degree and working that I didn’t realize my ex liked me, and that I liked him. There were subtle hints, but they went over my head until we were arguing with each other—both of us were extremely stubborn—and blurted out to each other that we liked one another and had been “dating” without realizing it. Everyone else picked up on it but us.
