It's what you meant.

[documentings]

I just don't think you really like me, that's all. Maybe the idea, but not me. I'm being a realist.

[ottimismo]

No you're not. You're selling yourself short. I know what I want, and that's you. I could find the idea of you on every other block of Alphabet City. I don't want the idea. I want the real thing.

Can we talk about this in person? After dinner tonight?

im comin after u and all ur accounts tomorrow fuckin brace urself

[ Say something nice. Say something meaningful, Mark. ]

'Every other block of Alphabet City' makes me sound like a hooker. I thought that was against your job.

[ Guess who's avoiding the last text? This guy. But, after a few seconds: ]

If you want to.

my body is ready 8)))

[ottimismo]

SVU is more in the habit of protecting prostitutes rather than arresting them. That's Vice's division.

[ Which is beside the point entirely, and he knows Mark's just stalling, so it's a good thing that next text comes a few seconds later. ]

I want to.

[documentings]

[ I'm glad, then.

Means I can show more ankle on the street without worrying. ]

[ottimismo]

In that case, I'll definitely be coming around.

[documentings]

Great.

[ Nope. He's still fucking nervous and filled with cynicism and self-loathing, but you know. ]

You know you don't have to do anything like this, right? That you shouldn't feel obligated?

[ottimismo]

Why is it so hard for you to believe that I like you?

[documentings]

I'm not saying you don't! That's not even part of the current conversation.

[ottimismo]

I feel like it is. At least a little bit.
