she replies with....

"why are you always so short with me?"

then with...

"trust me I get that you don't want to talk to me but you could at least not always make me feel like you're done talking the second I say anything"

I don't want to drive her away obviously. Btw shes barely freaking texted me in the past 7 months. A little at xmas, and then the past 2 days. I want to lay into her hard for that comment above but I won't.

I could say something... like "I'm sorry just busy at work"

Or should I say more... I of course do want to talk to her... any thoughts on this one? I feel this is kind of an important point. I don't want to drive her off, but I also don't want to blow any progress.
