บท 28: Chapter 29

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"You can't just say that and expect me not to want to know more."

Kate and I were in her room after having had one of her "stretching" sessions to which I was just a spectator. It looked easy but after what had happened last time. I knew better.

"Kate, I already told you all there is. I'm not saying more."

"Fine. Be that way. I don't care."

"Sure you don't."

Not even a second later Kate began to plead for more information.

"Lyra, can you please please tell me more? Just a little bit more."

"Fine. But just a little."

"That's all I ask for."

"I think I like a guy but he..." I paused looking for the right word. "He's different. No, not that. Well he is but that's not the problem." I stared down at my fingers that were playing with a loose thread on my jeans. "The problem is he doesn't seem to be a guy who's interested in such things. Commitment." I tried to tell her about how his mother might be the main cause of that but decided against it.
