Re: The Bar - 06/04.

"You do know better," Summer agreed, and at least he acknowledged it, but it had her sighing a little again, folding her arms in front of her as she leaned them on the bar.

"And here's the real kicker," she added. "You say you don't want to make it more difficult for me, but that's exactly what you are doing. Like, okay, so...let's you came in here and were aal 'hi, Summer, your birthday's coming up, let me take you to dinner for it,' I would, like,be, hell yeah,fuck yeah, let's go. But you don't do that. You come in and you make an offer, but I still have to do all the work in figuring out what it is, right? And, maybe, that's a running them worth examining a little closer, that maybe it wasn't all just my aversion to commitment at play here, but also a certain exhaustion at doing a lot of the heavy lifting."

Sorry, Stark. She'd had a few sessions with her therapist since the break-up, and had professional introspection now.

"Don't get me wrong!" she added hastily. "The biggest part of it is definitely that I do not want a serious relationship right now, but there may be other underlying factors that were likely contributing to it that I wasn't entitely aware of."

Dr. Wong was very good at her job.

Just be glad that Summer was graciously leaving out the comparisons and parallel that had been made about her parents' relationship. Although she didn't want to relive any of that stuff either!
