"Yeah? That's okay? —Okay, we don't need the sheet anymore, this isn't a secret..." Erran pulled the sheet back down when Gemma nudged him, laughing. "But yeah, just...if we'd met at home, in the real world, I'd probably be dubious about the age thing—and that we have to live together, which is probably a bigger deal—but honestly, I'd roll the dice. We have a connection, you're gorgeous, who am I to just write that off? In here...it was the right call to talk about it now," he admitted. "Five days in, clear the air. If we'd waited three weeks or something before either of us said anything, everything probably would've felt way more fraught. As it is, I feel like we can..." He paused. "I hope we can just take it really slow and see if it works? I don't want to lose a friend in this place, that's my big thing here. That's top priority."
