Of course, he was sure that Dallin knew that Louisa liked him, but when Dallin finally did speak Adam realized what the problem was. Dallin had no concept of just how much Louisa liked him. It wasn't just some five second crush that she moved on from...she really liked him, and she really thought that there was something there. Of course, how would Adam be able to make Dallin see that? Perhaps he could use his own experience of Louisa shutting him down to try and put it in a way that Dallin could understand where Louisa was coming from.

Adam turned and looked at Dallin. "I...uh...I don't know much about your side of things, since what I've heard has come from Louisa, and well...everyone has a different take on things. What I can tell you is that your answer basically shut down any chance of there ever being an opportunity for you and her to be...well...more." Adam let out a little sigh before continuing. "I don't know, I mean, have you ever liked someone that hasn't liked you back in the same way? I'm sure you were nice about it to her, since you hardly seem like the kind of guy that would be mean, but really...rejection hurts no matter how kindly you word it." Adam was quiet again for a moment.

"I think, although she hasn't specifically said this to me, that maybe she is avoiding you so much because she's not really sure how to face you yet," Adam said with a little frown. "And I'm not sure that she really knows what to do with the information that you've given her, but I do think that she's hurt, and somewhat angry."

Dallin was silent for a very long time after he finished speaking. He thought back to that day in Diagon Alley when Louisa had told him that... what she felt about him. He closed his eyes, trying to remember what he'd said to her. He hadn't really said that there was no way on Earth they could ever be together, he'd just said that he couldn't possibly imagine not having Ellie. That was what he'd been trying to get at; Ellie was here - thank Merlin - so there was no use for Louisa to ask 'what if.' Because it wouldn't matter. Would her reaction have been any better if he had told her that maybe things could have been different? Even if that was a lie?

...He'd just have to ask her. If she ever talked to him again.

He opened his eyes suddenly at one of the questions Adam asked. Slowly, he nodded. Of course he had felt that; that 'unrequited love' thing. Sure, it hadn't been love, but it'd been something. Those crushes at Merlin's on his sisters' friends. And those few months after Ellie broke up with him that he didn't know how he felt. Was that a kind of rejection Louisa was feeling?

Sighing, Dallin leaned back to grip the other edge of the bench with his hands. "Do you think it'd be a good idea for me to just ... talk to her? Or should I wait and let her do it on her own?" Dallin really had no idea why he was asking Adam for advice. He was Louisa's friend and stuff... so maybe he knew her better than Dallin did.

It wouldn't hurt to ask, would it? "You're really good friends with her, aren't you?" Dallin might be clueless about a lot of things, but it was fairly obvious that Adam felt strongly about Louisa.
