He chuckled when Louisa recommended telling them how much faith people have in their love. "I wonder if they're aware that pretty much a huge majority of the school has already determined that if their love can't last than no one's will," Adam said with a grin. Well...maybe not that many people thought about their relationship that way, but enough did to make it seem like a valuable reason for the two of them to try and work things out. "Do...uh...do you know who Dallin kissed?" Adam asked, wondering more out of curiosity than anything else. "Of course I understand if that's not information that you can share." He supposed in some ways who it was was kind of a moot point.

Adam gave a small nod when Louisa agreed with his thoughts on promises. He noticed the bitterness in her voice at the end of her statement, and his thoughts made him feel like she was probably referring to Joao. Well...things were definitely not going well in that department then. "Fear of commitment can sometimes prevent people from making promises," Adam offered with a small shrug of the shoulder. "You know sometimes the possibility of rejection in the future, or investing so much of yourself into someone can seem frightening. I mean, making promises is like giving a piece of yourself to someone, and that person suddenly has all this power and privilege that they can use against you. I think for some people that's kind of a weakness and makes them vulnerable."
