[Jane's cheeks heat, aware that Dirk's probably totally thrown by this but, well. She's been thinking about this for a while. And she can't leave him in the dark on this and still consider him one of her best friends. It wouldn't be right.]
When we were under the love potion, you were so sweet. You said things I never thought anyone would say about me because...well, I convinced myself I didn't deserve them. [She breathes out a sad sigh, eyes dropping down and away.] And to clinch it, you were-- you were essentially making an exception for me. I couldn't fathom it-- being exceptional. And I didn't want it to go away, even when the potion-induced feelings ebbed and I was left with the same pointless crush I always had.
[She doesn't say it was on Jake. It probably doesn't need saying.] Adding another on top of it felt even more useless, and I rather melancholy about the whole thing. That night at the party, I'd-- I'd been drinking, obviously, because it made things feel a little bit better. And I got to thinking that maybe we could both use a...distraction.
[From Jake. Again, the elephant is there but not discussed in the slightest.] It wasn't fair to you, of course. I-- I almost wish I was a boy so we could at least try and keep each other company like that, but that's...that's not who I am. And what I am isn't what you want.
So I'm sorry. I feel like I used you, and maybe even disrespected you.
[She glances up, meeting his eyes as best she can.] I-- I just needed to let you know.
LOL i actually misread that, then, but hey that's exactly what jane does so
