Chapter 39

Ariela

Tragically, it was proven once again that we were partly on the same page, because he said, "You don't have to care. If it wasn't serious, which a lover isn't, then it doesn't matter. Unless you plead breach of trust because you were friends."

"No, I actually wouldn't mind. Thanks to him, the heat was bearable, so I'm grateful and ready." That would take a while, so I slid forward in my chair to fill my glass. Since I was already here, I should enjoy the whisky. I asked casually: "What about you? Do you have a lover on your resume?"

"Yes." Here we are again with the long-winded answers that gave us so much background information.

I took the liberty of asking another question: "Do you currently have one?"

"No."

I have no idea what I thought about it. I actually couldn't care less. Unless I wanted to demand equal rights. But then we were left with the unresolved question of how helpful another man would be with my heat.
