Demelza had found out that she was a bit of a commitment-phobe the hard way. She'd only just begun her 20s and was in no way ready to settle down. But then again, she wasn't exactly looking for any relationships at all. It was weird, because she both wanted it and wanted to stay away from it all at the same time.
It was easier to just act like she was fine with everything and not think about it too deeply. Over-analysing didn't get one anywhere in life, to be perfectly honest. "I suppose not," she agreed at last. "I still think it's stupid, though."
