THE COFFE TASTED different this morning, it was good. And yet it was Seth who had made it. Just goes to show, everyone makes progress. Jesse left Ayesha alone at the bar after he had to leave to patrol with Ellie.

Ellie. The young woman hadn't spoken to her since their last conversation three days ago. Ayesha felt deeply hurt, but part of her still hoped that Ellie would come and apologize.

As Ayesha sipped her coffee peacefully, she sensed a presence sitting on the stool next to her. Glancing up, she saw Jon, and almost immediately trying to hide her annoyance, Ayesha put the coffee cup back on the table.

"Morning Ayesha." Jon says, sounding too enthusiast.

"Morning..." Ayesha says awkwardly.

The young woman tries to avoid his gaze; she's never really liked Jon. He has some pretty radical ideas and is most likely a sexist. His wolf tattoo on his shoulder says a lot about his personality. Jon has a buzzcut and always wears a white tank top with a sleeveless leather jacket.

"How you doin'? I mean, since the incident." He asks about the girl's state.

Ayesha never found any attraction for the young man, physical or otherwise. Ayesha likes men, and only men in her experience. She's never tried anything with a woman, she's not against the idea only she has other things to think about than her sexuality. If one day she falls in love with a woman, she's not going to put any labels on her sexuality - that's life and that's the end of it.

"Great..." She sips on her coffee again.

Jon rests each of his elbows on the table before turning completely towards the young woman, who then feels compelled to turn towards him.

"I was wondering-"

"No." Ayesha cuts him off.

Ayesha already knew what he was going to ask her. Although the young woman had never felt attracted to him, on the other hand, the young man took a direct liking to Ayesha from the moment she stepped out of the racing car, which no one had seen since her arrival in Jackson.

"You didn't even let me finish!" He gasps, widening his eyes.

"Do you really want me to let you finish so the rejection is more painful?" Ayesha frowns.

"Yeah, I suppose!"

Ayesha raises her eyes to the sky before beckoning him to continue his serenade, which he does without flinching.

"Would you like to go on a date with me? Tomorrow night?" He says with a smirk.

"No, Tommy and Maria don't let me out of the house except for grabbing breakfast." Ayesha takes another sip of coffee.

Jon feels rejected, for at least the fourth time in the last year.

"Do you even like men?" Jon asks confused.

"Yeah, I do. I love men. Just not your typa men." She answers.

"You'll regret that." Jon tries to comfort himself.
