did zara say that? the both of us know how hard it is to interpret silences -- and i wouldn't believe leslie's interpretation at face value. everyone's got problems, and sometimes when you're tired and busy and possibly depressed, it's difficult to deal with people, even people you like, it's difficult to keep in touch -- that doesn't mean you were too high-maintenance to be worth the friendship, or that zara wouldn't respond kindly to a phone call, a private message, an attempt to rekindle things.
