[this sucks. Sits up eventually]

Lincoln?

[skepticalities]

— yes?

[onlyoneof]

I don't believe in fate or love at first sight, or anything like that. I don't think things happen because they are "meant" to happen.

[skepticalities]

Okay?

[onlyoneof]

... it's not a competition.

[skepticalities]

. . .

[onlyoneof]

... come here.

[skepticalities]

[. . . steps over.]

It's not you versus her... that's not how it works

[skepticalities]

I never said it was.

[onlyoneof]

But you're thinking it.

[skepticalities]

I know what it sounds like, when I talk about it... about what the Observer said.

[skepticalities]

Right . . .

[onlyoneof]

... but I don't see it as this... fated love story. We didn't get together because it was meant to happen, we got together because we met each other and liked each other, and because we worked our differences out. Destiny didn't make it work, we did.

And you and me are on the same boat.

[skepticalities]

. . . I can't help but feel like that no matter what, I'm getting in the way.

[onlyoneof]

... in the way of what?

[skepticalities]

You and Olivia. I know you've told me not to feel like that and I know it's stupid, but there it is.

[onlyoneof]

You realize there is no me and Olivia right now, right?

[skepticalities]

Right.

[onlyoneof]

And you realize you are the entirety of my support net.

[skepticalities]

. . . Right.

[onlyoneof]

And if I didn't have feelings for you, we wouldn't be dating.

[skepticalities]

I know. I told you — it's stupid, but there it is.

[onlyoneof]

It's not stupid. I'm trying to put it on perspective.
