Ellie and Barclay and OPEN
It sounded to her as if Mickey had fit right in with how the general population of the student body approached relationships. One night stand at a time. That wasn't romance, as Ellie was learning. It was fun, sure, but it wasn't what she wanted. It was what she settled for.
She contemplated how to answer Barclay. Did she really want to tell him her business. Then again, did it really matter if he knew? Ellie shrugged a shoulder. "Sex isna love. Tha' flowchart yer talkin' about proves tha'." She nodded toward Ambriel and Davian. "Tha's love. As fer me..." She sighed then decided to tell the truth. "I've decided love sucks an' not somthin' I should focus on right now."
