"You mean when I brought you in that back room and climbed over top of you."
I start to describe for her - in a low whisper into the microphone, absolutely trying to embarrass her - but it just makes her mouth open like the starting gate at a racetrack. And her words fly right out of it like the horse that wants to win.
"Yes. And then I saw those photos of you in Anise's sudden group chat. Saw the lonely picture again when I messaged you privately. I couldn't help myself with the way I was thinking about you, and-"
"Stop. I get it."
If that's shy, then… I don't need to know what her direct is! It was like how I was with Mira, except she wasn't trying to deflect - just tell the truth.
That level of honesty feels dangerous this early in the morning. We both still have a whole day of tasks to accomplish. I don't want to spend it feeling like I should chase her down and find… anywhere slightly private.
"I get it…"
"Sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."
