Amanda.
I feel the need to explain something since you continuely point out that you have 'moved on', leaving the underlying tone that I have not. It is a slight to me and I feel the need to correct your old habit, because old habits between us are simply that, old habits and under no circumstance do I have it in my head to pursue you.
I push the limits between us, testing your relationship with Angelo because I feel that you waning on your confidence in him. It is none of my business, I admit, and I often find that I slide into what was natural between us because it is easier than maintaining a shield between us. You do the same and respond to me, despite yourself. That is not to assume I am pining over you, nor you over me.
Besides the fact that I find him insufferable and hold a very unhealthy grudge against him for reasons that do not need to be addressed again, I am first and foremost your friend. However, if that friendship is to continue, you must stop assuming I have not moved on.
Do I find it slightly disturbing that absolutly no one within the mansion or out of it attracts my attention? Yes, I do. I am loathed to admit the truth in Forge's words yet I do nothing about it but focus on my powers, work for Emma and my sister. There is no truth closer than the fact that I do not know what to do about it and it is more than a matter of pride. It is my dignity.
It is the very reason I am addressing this over email rather than face to face. I do not want to be in an emotional battle with you and this is the closest way I can breech such a topic while maintaining an emotional detatchment.

Manny, you ever hear the expression "when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me"? Because that's exactly what you're doing here. You're assuming I'm implying you haven't moved on, and believe me, there was nothing further from my mind. I was enjoying the chance to tease the new girl a bit, and to tease you, since yes, you're all uptight and way too fucking serious. I sure as hell wasn't saying anything about you not moving on.
We sorted this out in Spain, remember? We're mates, there's nothing more between us and won't be, and I'm fine with that. You've told me you're fine with that. So we're fine, yeah?

Consider it needed to be said regardless.
