No-- what? No. I don't know? I don't think so? He doesn't really ask for...

[ a pause, shaking her head and looking away again, anxiously crumbling crackers into her soup. ]

No, it's-- he's... big. Really big.

... more importantly, a violation of how far I'm willing to go with you.

[ a pause ]

In any case, the problem isn't-- he's not the problem, I mean.

... I don't think he would ever say he was displeased with me. I don't think he believes he's allowed to-- feel nice, from this, in the first place.

I fear if I'm unable to-- to... do that, it would only serve to frustrate him, in the end, no matter how much he may like me. I don't really care if it's reciprocated, either, I just... want him to be happy? I want to be useful, for him. I don't want...

[ trails off for a moment, stilling her restless soup stirring. ]

... I don't want to be... replaced, I guess, with someone who can do it properly. I want to be good enough.
