[This post started as an audio post. Nick was silent for most of it and it ended with a curse in a language no one here probably understood.
A few hours later, he decided to try again. This time in text.]
Bryn, may I speak to you?

A few replies come to mind immediately.
"I can't think of what you could possibly want to talk to me about."
"Looking for someone to lie to you again?"
"No."
It's petty and Bryn can't bring herself to ignore him outright. It's ingrained in her to respond.]
Why? What do you want?

[The words trail off. He's not sure how he wants to word this. Finally, he starts writing again.]
I am sorry.

Sorry for?
[Sorry Nick, you'll have to be a little more specific.]

For those things I said. I was panicked and scared.
[He knows it's not an excuse. But he hopes it explains his actions at least a little.]
Reply
Besides, she understands his panic and fear. It's not as if she doesn't have her own.]
I forgive you...you know now that I didn't lie to you?
Reply
[He'd like to explain a little better. He's not entirely sure how though. So he won't unless Bryn asks.]
Reply
[Bryn takes a deep breath before continuing. She's glad they're speaking through text right now, because the idea of anyone knowing how rattled she feels doesn't appeal at all.]
May I ask how you discovered the truth?
Reply
[Or at least calmed him down enough to let him come to the right conclusions on his own.]

Well that's good...
[Awkward Bryn is awkward. What does she say now?]

[Bryn puts an exclamation point on that before she can think better of it. Is that too enthusiastic? She can't remember the last time anyone said they wanted to be her friend, unfortunately.]

Gracias! Thank you!
[He feels silly about this. But this has put him in a good mood.]
Reply
She finds this charming, and smiles as well.]
Perhaps next I see you, you can tell me more about yourself as well?
Reply
I would like that.
[No he wouldn't. But he'll just have to bite the bullet and do it.]
Reply
Then until next time. Maybe I'll see you at dinner.
