But as far as Tory knows that’s the only place he’ll get to with Colin.

Tory is obsessed because of the Gaia Project. Mandy may pound it into his mind that it's all about Colin and not Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, but NEWSFLASH! A notebook dedicated to a person is not Gaia, Gaia, Gaia! It's Colin, Colin, Colin! And the fact that he records every wave, every smile, every movement Colin makes towards him just adds more to the fixation. If that doesn't spell obsession, what does?

But staggering away from Colin, coughing it up, Tory might call it obsession. That split second where he grabbed Colin's wrist made Tory's heart thud over and over again. Just friends? He thinks not. Feelings do not spur, blast, thud, attack, sweat, flow, and breathe for just friends. That's politically incorrect. Just friends is to Mandy as more is to Colin. There is nothing like just friends in this situation.
