[The moment finds Angela plopping back into Cameron's chair, looking a little too comfortable considering who she's talking to. Angela decides that the best way to level the playing field is to offer up a story, a true one, that shows Cameron they're not too different after all.]
I almost lost the guy I'm with at home. Long story short, I brushed him off just because I was scared that it would end badly. If it ended badly, it would make things awkward for our colleagues at work. Then he got buried alive. I had already had one boyfriend murdered. I didn't want another one dead before I got my ass into gear. Nothing puts shit into perspective quite like that.
[Unlike Cameron who's staring at the ground, Angela's eying her from the desk, swinging side to side lightly in the chair. She's not sure how Cameron is taking this line, but call it a little piece of Angela's bleeding heart showing. Behind all the partying and the drinking, the sex and the foul language, it does exist.]
You learn to say things when you can. Take advantage of the moment. This... [Angela hesitates because now it's going from advice to actually admitting her emotional digest. Not a major thing she holds back from but it's to Cameron.] ...isn't as easy as it looks for me. We're not best friends forever, but I never wanted you hurt, you know?
