In the foreground, Sam puts on pink pajamas. In the background, Wren sits up on her bed.
SAM: She didn’t – did she force herself on you?
WREN: No! I wanted to – I mean, I like her and – they were totally consensual smooches.
SAM: …but you’re freaking out because…?
WREN: When she kissed me, it still felt like I was cheating on Candice, you know? I know we’re not technically together anymore. I’ve thought about the fact that we might see other people… but it’s still… I’m just not ready.
Sam sits down besides Wren and puts a hand on her shoulder.
WREN: But this girl I really like obviously likes me! And I feel crappy rejecting someone that I’m totally interested in. What do I say?
SAM: Just be honest.
WREN: Honest. Right. So if I pretend I’m moving to Canada, you wouldn’t cover for me?
SAM: Not even a little bit.
UGHHHH this exact thing happened to me not too long ago. only instead of telling me that he wasn’t ready then, the dude decided to drag it out over a three month long attempt at a relationship with me instead. Wren, listen to Sam.
I’m reading through your archives again, because I love this so hard. I have only just discovered the alt text. This will be how I ph4rase all asking out from now on “I like you a lot, but PROBLEMS.”
Can Sam come over and talk me down when I get hyper over socially awkward things?
Awww Sam is so good at this. Also, it wouldn’t work, Wren, you have classes with Nhi.

New reader from Bitch here! I love your comic, I had to go through and read every post from the beginning. Sam’s cardigan is rad.
Wren should move to Canada. PLOT TWIST AHOY.
From one Sam in support of another – Sam is the best! Seriously, I love her.
