[ There's a lot there. A lot to think about. And as always, whenever Ange finds herself thinking about Eva, she also finds herself growing rapidly more antsy. Her hands fidget for something to do with all the nervous energy, and she ends up biting the nail of her thumb as she glances at the message.
Wu is such a kind idiot. He must have been so busy these past few days, and yet here he is, going out of his way to say this stuff to her. To write it all down for her. ]
I think we should talk about this in person. [ It's her effort to do something in return for all the kindness and effort he's showing her here. After all, there's a reason Ange never talks about this stuff with anyone. Out of all of the stuff that happened to her, somehow it's the deep dive into her relationship with her aunt that gets her the most antsy.
Especially while talking about it in person. But Wu understands. And he's.. ] I trust you with it.
But some other time. You first have your big opening to focus on, you know? I'm not going to take time away from someone who's super busy with that. Sometime when it's been open for a while and you've found your swing with it, we should get together and talk about all this.
[ At first, Wu feels a little let down, shut down, but after a moment's reflection, he gets it. It is hard to talk about, it's hard to process all of this over text. He's still new to texting as a medium, and it's hard to get everything across the way he wants to.
And it's kind of her to offer to wait until he's ready. ]
Thank you, Ange. I'd like that. We can talk about it, in a little while. After your party and the opening, when we can slow down a little.
You're not taking anything away from me, though! I'm more than happy to talk with you. Honestly? It feels nice that you get it. Not everyone has a terrible auntie!
[ Of course neither of them know the curse of saying 'when we can slow down a little' in a place like Trench, that immediately proceeds to make the next month awful.
But without knowing that, Ange kind of feels a weird mixture of emotions. Looking forward to it a little, since like he says, it's rare to find people who really get it. But at the same time feeling oddly nervous.
But she tries to push the latter feeling down as she texts back. ]
It's a date.
Good luck with everything, Wu. I'm sure the opening will be a success, considering the amount of passion you're putting into it.

If you're okay with that.
I think I'd like to try.
