Relieved, I smile at her. "Hugging?"
"A definite yes. I'm a hugger." Her smile matches mine,
setting me at ease.
"Good to know." I tap my fingers on the table, then raise a
more sensitive topic. "Sex?"
This time she glances away, but I can see she's thinking, so I give her the time she needs. Finally, she locks eyes with me again. "Only if it comes naturally and actually means something. It's not to be used as a weapon or tool to control
me." I'm surprised by her answer. I expected a flat-out no from her. "I agree."
Her fingers wrap around the stem of the glass. "Look at us
getting along for once." "Miracles happen," I tease, which makes a smile flirt with her lips.
Wanting to get to know all of her, I ask, "Do you like
messages or phone calls?"
"Phone calls for conversations and messages if it's just
something quick."
I nod, actually enjoying this moment of calm between us. "Pet peeves?"
She lets out a chuckle. "When someone bosses me
around." Laughter escapes me. "Damn, we're going to fight about
that one."
