When I didn’t say anything for a minute, she dipped her head and caught my eyes. Her lips parted and her cheeks flamed red, the absolute picture of embarrassment.
“What?” I asked, chuckling at her almost-comical expression.
“You, what?” she retorted, narrowing her eyes at me. “I feel like I just dumped all this word-vomit in your lap, and now you don’t know how to tell me to go away.”
A full-bodied laugh burst out of me as I leaned back on the bench. “I’m not going to tell you to go away, Lyndi.”
Unfortunately.
She blinked at me, waiting for more.
I shrugged. “I guess I’m just surprised by your answer to my question about your type.”
“Why? I love those tropes.”
Moving slowly so as not to spook her, I shifted on the bench and rested my arm along the back of it so I could face her more directly. “Lyndi, I asked you what your type was, and you rattled off a list of fictional scenarios. None of that has anything to do withyourtype of man. The ones that are out here. In the wild.”
Intense astonishment touched her sun-kissed face, but before she could reply, someone called her name.
We both turned to see who it was, and Lyndi bolted from the bench the second her eyes landed on her sister and Shelby coming up from the parking lot. I watched them disappear through the hospital doors, sitting forward once more and bringing my elbows to my knees.
Well, okay, then. Good talk.
