"I'm in love with you."
"Oh."

"No."
"Then I guess so. Is it okay if I'm not in love with you?"
"You're not gonna run away, right?"
"No."
"Then I guess so."
"Okay. So, ah, what were you saying about the failure points of peanut shells?"
"I thought that was a stupid topic."

A six word story I wanted to write.
Funny how the people who love you the most are right under our noses and we never seem to notice them.
