The man asked: "Do you someone you like?"
"No way." Skyler shot back with a dismissive laugh.
The man visibly relaxed at her response. As long as Skyler wasn't into any other guy, he figured he still had a shot. All he had to do was keep being the good guy, showing her kindness, and eventually, she'd see his worth, maybe even fall for him.
Out of the blue, Amanda gave Skyler a little pinch. "Skyler..."
With a puzzled expression, Skyler turned to Amanda. "What's up?"
The man's gaze followed, a silent plea flickering in his eyes.d2
Amanda's cheeks flushed under the man's intense stare, and she felt a certainty about her own thoughts. "Skyler, maybe you shouldn't reject him so quickly. Let's think it over back at the dorm."
The man's eyes lit up with hope. "Skyler, I'm Logan, a senior in the archaeology department."
Skyler nodded politely. "Hi, Logan."
Logan continued, "People say archaeology doesn't have much of a future, but I love it, and it's stable work. I'm a local from the Capital. An only child. My folks run a small business, we're not rich, but we're comfortable. We own three houses: one I live in with my parents, one they're setting up for me, and another one..."
He seemed ready to spill his entire family's financial status. Skyler had to cut him off. "Logan, you don't need to tell me all this because I've already made it clear. My focus right now is on my studies, not on romance."
