It wasn't just that response, the whole e-mail was... bah. I'll ask her if she really wants the books or not, but I'll do it in real life. I've had too much e-misery with her.

And I know my opinion about his hair doesn't matter. But in the meanwhile he does talk about it. If he'll ask me, I guess a "I liked your previous hair better" or a "I'm not really into fashion hair" will have to do.
