"... you want to know?" I asked while I knew I didn't have the answer she wanted.
"Of course! She must be very special if you chose her, right?"
I pondered for a moment deciding whether to lie or tell the truth… but I wanted neither since both would be troublesome in the end. "I'm looking for one, yeah… but I can't tell you yet. I need to be careful so… yeah. I just need to be careful."
"Oh… is it not going well? Have you… told her?... that you are... that you are gay?"
"... You know it's complicated," I told her a little uncomfortable to hear her say that so cautiously, "I need time to do it properly."
"I see…" Holding onto my arm, I could tell she was sincerely worried, but the fact that I didn't want this was also well known to her. "Don't worry, it's a delicate matter so take your time… if you are carefully choosing her then it is worth the wait, dear. You must choose wisely."
"Thanks, I'll do that."
