It may be vague, and it may not initially sound like what it is, but if you listen hard, you’ll hear it: an apology from someone you never believed was even aware of your existence. Since they’re really not out to get you after all, don’t you think you should stop being so tough on them? You might be surprised at how well the two of you get along without the silent tension.

Things in the love department might suddenly speed up, much to your delight. You can help by making use of technology, by checking the dating apps, for instance, or sending a DM to that cutie.
