Laura was afraid that she might actually make her blush.\u003cbr\u003e'Oh my god, is it that obvious? I didn't want to look like a slut or anything.'\u003cbr\u003eLaura laughed that one off. Jen didn't look like anything of the kind, and Laura didn't think she could if she tried. She stated as much, and the girls sat in a moment of awkward silence, until Laura broached the subject once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'So, any particular person you have in mind?'

Her every move conveyed that she was a willing and attentive listener.\u003cbr\u003eJen seemed to have a small reticence, but it was obvious to the older woman that she wanted to talk about it. That was understandable; if the guy in question were one of Sharon's friends, Jen wouldn't want to discuss it with her until she knew for certain that she wouldn't be interfering with Sharon's plans. Well, Laura thought, she knows she can trust me. Meditating on that thought, she waited patiently, letting Jen come to her own decision. After a moment, she caved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'His name's Dan. He's a really nice guy, but there's something about him.
