"Vodka has convinced me that disassociation is best. If he's gonna pretend like (the feelings part of it) didn't happen then so can I" she said to Sleuthy.
After a lot of drinking with Super Director (and a small lie when she'd asked her if she'd made out with anyone since the separation yet), she decided that she needed to act like it didn't happen. That they were just friends with a tiny bit of sexual tension.
Do friends give each other bruises with their mouths? Do friends make out and grope topless with each other? Not in her world...which is why it wouldn't happen anymore. She wasn't going to go out of her way to do anything but text him as a friend would if she saw something he would find amusing. No more flirting. No more inviting him to the studio unless it was convenient for her. She had to be done, emotionally cut off.
He clearly didn't have his feelings sorted out with her yet, and so it was just easier to go back to the start, to G-rated Disney friendship. Maybe a reset was what they needed.
If they could be open with each other, there would be much to say. She would write him an open letter of questions, mostly just asking him where she stood. Because she couldn't ask him, she instead opted for just standing aside.
The vodka had worn off and she had still decided this was the best course of action. Let's see how long her resolve would hold out.
