Okay so FL takes the step forward and confesses to black hair best friend. And all he could say was "I'm sorry" basically a rejection. FL laments but also feels grateful for all these love and feelings for him.
I see this as an opportunity to move on. She's done what needs to be done, now she can move on from that love. He gave his answer. Blonde guy has a clearer opening with FL now.
