Her vase began to take on color and life under her careful strokes, growing more visually interesting with each passing moment. It helped to have something to focus on as she shared her tale, something to take her mind off of the vulnerability she felt in sharing something so personal with someone that, let's be honest, she didn't know all that well. But as Flora's husband, and even as a friend, she trusted Kai to help her decide what to do now that she'd been burdened by Jude's decisions -
The thought hit her like a ton of bricks. It was the first time she'd thought of Jude as someone placing something unwelcome on her shoulders rather than the other way around. A novel concept, and one that floored her enough that her words stumbled momentarily. But she shook it off quickly enough, just in time for her gaze to jump to Kai's face and her brow to crease in confusion. "Why would Koa -?"
Oh.
"Wait, you thought -" This was all her fault, really, for not being more specific in her letter. Kicking herself mentally, she shook her. head. "I'm not dating Koa." She did her best to keep her voice level, suddenly nervous. She hadn't considered that maybe Kai wouldn't want to help her if he knew who she was dating, but she did now - and given that there was a history between Kai and Zavien, she was suddenly unsure that this had been a good idea after all.
She studied her vase. Quietly, she said, "I'm dating Zavien."

And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
