His question startled Mara. Did she like Luke? Well she didn't dislike him but she had a feeling that Phil meant the term in a very different way from what she was thinking about.
"Not like that. I mean he's nice and all but if I did like him in that way, it would be way too complicated." That was an understatement. If Luke had known who she was, he probably wouldn't have even wanted to talk to her and she couldn't blame him. It was for the best that he was gone.
"Can I trust you?" she asked suddenly, looking over at him. Mara needed to talk to someone and even though she was asking him, her senses told her that she could trust him. Whatever those senses were, they hadn't failed her yet.
