Thank you @pragmaticpassion! Just read your entry, beautiful work :) The all-too-familiar experience of confusion, mixed messages, and conflicted emotions in personal relationships, deftly and powerfully sketched. I love your minimalist style: each phrase says just enough to convey everything about everything that matters.
