You wouldn't know it looking at me and talking with me, but I like math. Not in a totally nerdy overinvested way where numbers are everything, but I can see myself being an accountant. That's not weird is it?

[ the question is thoughtful as he falls into step alongside her, not accusatory. he wonders if she even notices it, herself. ]
What you want, and what you see yourself doing... what you are doing might be different, right?
[ ...what does she want? ]

[ That much is clear as of now. ]
I do know there are things that I can do and maybe I'm just in a comfortable set of circumstances right now. Could be a lot worse.
