Re: Kate - 7:05pm - Lounge - Percy
Kate certainly agreed that southern California had a lot going on, enough to keep her there most of her life, and she said so. "This"--she used her champagne glass to indicate the club--"isn't usually my scene, but other than a semester abroad I've been in California my whole life."
She winced internally as she realized she was dressed up and at a romantic event on Valentine's Day, chatting with a handsome man and sipping champagne. She was probably sending signals she hadn't intended. "Listen," she said quietly, looking Percy in the eye, "everyone came here tonight looking for...something, but I'm probably the most boring of the bunch. I'm getting as much as I wanted by talking with you, but if you want to go pursue something else, I understand." She smiled. "I just wanted to be upfront." She didn't think it was a bad thing to lay out her terms like a legal document so that everyone was on the same page.
