No, Evans, it's- ( they're both almost talking over each other, and neither of them really know what it is they're rushing to say. ) I didn't say I wasn't interested. I mean, I don't know if I am. ( great romantic game, remus lupin, just great. )
I mean. I couldn't really get myself to believe you were genuinely interested. In the first place. ( okay, it would be great if a hole could open up now and swallow them up. )

I'd been trying to subtly hint for years, and perhaps I went from much too subtle to much too direct far too quickly for either of us. I still apologize.
( wait. years? hold on. no, remus can't think about this now, or else he'll just gape at her as she leaves, and he needs to stop her from leaving, because- because why? just because. )
I'm not saying it was too much. I'm not saying no, either. Just that I'm a bit stupid. You have nothing to apologize for.

You're the least stupid bloke?
