“I couldn’t say no, Kara.”

Lex rubbed her lips with the pads of her fingers as she sat on the coffee table, long legs bent, her toes in her ankle boots turned to each other. She’d come to Kara’s straight after work, completely frazzled. Kara sat on her couch, stunned by Lex’s behavior.

“So. A date. He brought you coffee and asked you on a date. Which you agreed to.”

Lex rubbed a hand on her forehead. “Yeah, it’s looking that way.”

“And you’re not telling Travis?”

“No, I need to see what happens first. But Kara, Dean is terrifying.”

Yeah, he is, Kara thought. Though, honestly, she was surprised it had taken him so long to make a move. But Lex was coming unglued about it.

“Okay. What kind of outcome are you looking for here?” Kara said.

“Well, in my dreams he’s perfect and kisses me long and hard at the end of the date as we ride off into the sunset together. In reality, I think he’ll be charming, but it won’t be enough to make me hurt Travis. In my nightmare he’s a sleezebag who just wants to know if the curtains match the drapes, and I bail as soon as I can. It could be any situation. I have absolutely no idea what I’m walking into.” She slumped with her arms on her knees.

“I think it’s important to note that you just said that in your nightmare, he’s a jerk.” Kara looked over Lex and shook her head. “Lex, you’re kind of freaking out. And, in effect, you’re freaking me out.”

Lex tilted her head to the side, confused.

“You’re positively smitten. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in such a state of emotional disarray.” Kara gave her a sideways smile.

Lex rolled her eyes and sighed. “I know, and what the fuck? Could it be with a more inappropriate guy?”

Kara laughed. “Actually Lex, no. It could not.”
