Finley shook his head at her. "Nobody can truly turn their feelings off, not forever." He added as he knew eventually they would just come bubbling up for the surface. Humans were creatures that depended so much on what they were feeling. He was hurt by her words. "I'm not naïve. You are the one who is naïve if you really think you can turn off your feelings to hide from them."

" of course i do. if i didn't, why would i bring it up? " there wasn't a shred of fear in her words, though, looking at him only brought some type of shame -- shame she shouldn't feel, of all things. " you think i can't turn them off? i can, that's the thing that's different between us, " another sentence spoken before she slowly gives up on the conversation : on giving up on him. " you can doubt me all you want, finley, but there's nothing i could ever feel for someone as naïve as you are. "

"Do you?" Finley said as he wasn't sure that he believed her. He needed to believe that he wasn't crazy. "You don't get to tell me what to do with my life." Finley added as he was a bit stubborn. "Even if you did, it doesn't work like that. You can't just turn your feelings off." He said as things were complicated enough. "There is nothing you can say to make me believe you because everything you are saying is a lie, and you want me to believe you but I won't."

" that's where you're wrong, because i know how i feel, finley. " she's retorting, soon crossing her arms over her chest, another roll of her eyes, scoffing once again. " i'm not scared, i know myself. & for you to be in love with someone who's not, i think you should find someone else. " she's musing, keeping her eyes on the other, ready to say more. " i don't know what else to say that would convince you that this was . . nothing. "

"Projecting is for people who can't admit their own feelings." Finley told her as he felt that wasn't what he was doing. "I know I am in love with you. I just happen to think that it goes both ways and you're just scared" He added, but he wasn't convinced that Collette was actually going to admit it.

" i'm not in love with you. " she's repeating to him, with nothing but a scoff to leave her lips. " i was never in love with you, finley. i think you're projecting. " a chuckle leaves her lips, rolling her eyes. " you haven't a clue what you're talking about. "

"I think you are in love with me and you're just scared to admit it." Finley told her honestly. "You are scared I will hurt you like everyone else has."

scoffing light, with a shake of her head. completely doubting his words. " & what on earth is that supposed to mean, hm? "

Finley shook his head at Collette. "Your actions say far more than your words ever could."

" i just want you to know, i never said i was in love with you. "
