"You were just doing due diligence as a wing woman. I am not disappointed about what he said. I am just more disappointed that he is not my first male attraction who had no romantic options for me."

He sips at his wine to collect his thoughts for a moment. "But I guess one has to go through a bit of that in life... And really, the time I have already spent with Schön has helped me learn more about myself. I appreciate that."

"And I am glad I have this..." He tightens the grasp of his free hand, around her waist. "Someone to hold and love."
