WVM - PART 249 - The Good News By MissKitty2K

It's not about what I want.

There are rules that are broke, but I have to stop myself.

Belle, you make the rules.

Yeah, and they're made for a reason.

The issue is bigger than ours.

There were people taken advantage of by people that held power over them,

and I have to do everything I can do to stop that from happening again.

That's not what this is, though.

No, but if people knew, it would normalize the behavior,

and someone else would think they could get away with it either.

Belle, there's a solution here somewhere.

Maybe, but until now, we don't know it.

We could cause too much damage to justify it.

I'm perfectly happy being friends.

I'll let you just get to me today, but I'll keep them in check from now on.

I'll let the fact that I was interested in you out of the bag when I got *****.

So I hope this wasn't too surprising for you.

I'd ask you if you'd like me back, but I think it's better if I don't know.

Belle, can we talk about this some more?

If you want to.

Now, it isn't the best time, though.
