"I don't know. It'd depend, I guess." Peter pauses, thinking. He's probably end up writing down a lot of the things he told Karen already. "Like today, I'd write something like..."

Peter speaks his next words more carefully, more deliberately:

"Today, Liz showed up at my door and she was really upset. I was really worried because this was probably the most upset that I've ever seen her. But I'm glad that she came to me. I'm always glad when she comes to me."

Peter stops there and thinks again.

"She told me that she'd found out with Emma's help that her ex-boyfriend had gotten another girl pregnant. I can understand why she feels the way she feels. Not just because she explained it to me, but also because I can sympathize even though I'm not actually a girl myself."

A beat.

"After that, we talked for a long time about a lot of things, like her friends and how we felt the first time we met and our favorite holidays and our favorite classes. I know some people might get bored talking about things like that all the time, but I think I could talk to Liz all day and not ever get tired of it."

He smiles at her. "And that'd be it for now. I might've added more if right now were the end of the day."
