Re: Lloyd & Cherry - aside.
Cherry pouted when Lloyd said he wouldn't be taking part in the contest. "You sure know how to break a girl's heart, Lloyd. All my dreams of you in a wet t-shirt contest... dashed!" She put her finger to her eye to wipe away a tear that wasn't really there.
Relationships were messy, and anyone who told you differently had never been in a proper one. You couldn't invest that much of yourself in another person without wanting to strangle them from time to time. But just because the messy part was a given, didn't mean it was a good idea to go after someone who had DOOM written all over them! Screwing someone who was your student AND patient... bad idea. "Focusing on Garret is a good idea. You have a second chance with him, and few people get second chances like that. Don't fuck it up this time." She gave him a hug and kissed his cheek.
