Suddenly, a song lyric popped in her head. "If you knew what I knew," she murmured, "you wouldn't have said what you said." Her eyes stayed away from his face, instead looking at the dancing figures behind him.
"I'm sorry," AJ said softly. I wonder if she's a fan...? Or if she just happened to say that?
"It's ok," she replied. AJ, not knowing how she would respond, kept all comments to himself.
Jessalin knew she was very attracted to this man, and became very upset when he didn't say anything. Sighing, she willed herself to forget about him, to concentrate on something else. She found this hard to do; instead, daydreams of a romance between them flooded her brain, no matter how hard she fought it.
AJ heard her sigh and longed to take her in his arms to comfort her; ask her what was troubling her. But, somehow, he knew that wasn't possible - she was pushing him away, yet he had done nothing to her.
