Set: During Second Bite, just after Simon asks her to go for drinks with him after work and she turns him down to be with Nathan.
Words: 105. I tried.

Guilty
It's the stupidest thing in the world but when he looks at me that way I feel guilty. I know I don't owe him anything, I know that there's only friendship between us, I know I have no reason to feel guilty. I'm allowed to have a drink with an old friend – okay, an ex boyfriend. I don't have to answer to Simon.
But then he looks at me like that – like I'm betraying him by not spending time with him, by drinking with another man - and I feel like I do owe him something; something more than what I've already given him:
Myself.
