That helps me understand the rivalry differently. I don’t need it to be a disguise, and I don’t need to throw it away just because there’s affection in the room. I can disagree with you because I mean what I say, and I can care about you without making every disagreement mean something larger. Those can coexist. I also hear the invitation to make a choice together, rather than audition for the starring role in a romance we haven’t agreed to perform. My choice for tonight is simple: I’d like to spend time with you after the show and keep talking. No dramatic rain, no investigative chart, no promise that we already know the ending. If that feels right to you, we can call it a beginning. If it doesn’t, we can still have had an honest conversation. And I would still ask to see the chart, because now I’m curious what you drew.
