AARYN
Aaryn spoke through a clenched jaw. "I thought you weren't really… interested in a relationship?"
"I wasn't. I'm not. I mean, I am interested in concept. But I've never met the right male. But now there's going to be all these questions, and I'm thinking… I'm thinking, maybe there's just something wrong with me? Like, maybe I built it up in my mind too much. Maybe my expectations are too high. Maybe what I need is to just give some male the signals and get it over with and maybe that'll… wake up the rest of me?"
Aaryn laughed, but she just stared at him.
"You're serious?" he breathed.
She nodded. And swallowed. Hard. "You were right about Dargyn, I think," she said. "Tonight he was… giving me that look he has that all the females squeal about. And… it made me feel… good."
