Fred lifted one hand over the table, dropping it onto Devin's own hand, that was jumping around so. There was a flash of comprehension in her eyes.
"...I know."
She kept her hand there, waiting for his to still.
"You're not a curiosity Devin," Fred managed first, just watching him. "But being curious with you, it isn't a bad thing really. It means he wants to know more, about you, about himself. It makes you inspiring, it means he keeps wanting to learn. Remember what I said about one person not seeing the whole other person. Curiousty can keep that from happening. You're worried about things failing. But what's worse? Failing, or not trying at all?"
Fred would rather try, every single time.
"You tried to let him go, but if he doesn't leave, then that says something too." She shrugged. "I haven't met him, obviously, but it seems to me like you...know things Devin. You know people. Can you tell if it's just curiosty in that one way, all physical and...or is it deeper than that?"
