At least he admitted that kissing Vashti was a huge mistake. Ellie was relieved that he thought so. She looked back at her cold hands and rubbed them together to try and warm them up. Hopefully Vashti would forgive Dallin because it wasn't really his fault. If Louisa was right, which she had been lately, it was Ellie's fault that Dallin felt like he had to kiss someone to make her jealous. Vashti just happened to be there.

For a moment, Ellie didn't know what to say. But when he apologized, she did. "No, no... Don't be sorry, Dallin. None of this would have happened if I hadn't have dumped you." Dumped was kind of a harsh word. Buuuut she already said it. "I'm sorry, okay? It's my fault..." Her voice was kind of quiet now. As she looked up at him again, Ellie kind of just wanted to tackle him. This was the first functional conversation they had had in a while. Ellie missed him. And everything they used to be.

Of course, Dallin should have expected what Ellie said next. She was blaming herself for the fact that Dallin kissed Vashti. It was insane. Sure, it was Ellie that Dallin wanted to make jealous ~~or whatever~~ but it was by no means her fault. Ellie always blamed herself, though. That's just how she was.

The word 'dumped' stood out to Dallin, and he involuntarily grimaced. Yeah, he'd been dumped. By Ellie. Twice, actually. But still, whatever he did after Ellie broke up with him was not caused because she did. Well, not directly, at least. Pretty much everything he had done was somehow indirectly related.

Anyway.

"Stop blaming yourself, please." His voice was quiet, and he was staring at his hands. "We're both adults here. And... well, I can make my own choices. Even if you dumped me." The last bit had a hint of bitterness to it... and he hurried to fix his tone. "I mean... what I'm trying to say is..." What was he trying to say?

"I... I'm curious. Can you just tell me what it's been like for you? If that's not being too forward..."
