 be curious, not judgmental

Fuller was still neither confirming nor denying the truth of her assumptions and the gossip.
OPPORTUNE SUBJECT CHANGE.
"Ooohh, you and Toby, eh? You got a little crush?" He grinned. She SO DID. Couldn't deny it now, little Brown! Pffffffffff. "Nice subject there, champ." Soph rolled her eyes playfully, leaning back on her hands and sighing as if the subject was entirely uninteresting to her. "Tobes is my best friend in the whole world, sir. We're like... friendship soulmates. And we're just kids right now -" she kept saying that, but really, they were growing up, "- but of course I like him. S'not a crush." In her mind, a crush was more of a childish admiration from afar where it wasn't necessarily reciprocated.
Didn't Toby reciprocate it?
"Can't blame me, though, can you? He's a great guy. Probably your favorite student and neighbor of all time, am I right?" Hmmm? HM? Wasn't she?
How could he not be? Tobes was the best.
