 Technically technical all the time Bookaholic
She really wanted to hear more about Nick; she felt she hardly knew him at all, especially afte what he had just told her. Kristi only knew him as the boy all the girls were after. He never seemed to have any interest in anyone who wasn't fawning all over him which was why it had surprised her when he had suddenly come to her in the library. She knew Marcella had been behind that and knew he had probably never given her a first, let alone a second thought before that time. But, she hadn't given him much thought either, though she watched him as closely as the others in her house.
Kristi looked up into Nick's forlorn face and fought the urge to press him for more information. They really weren't that close, yet and now was not the time to press when they were sharing so freely, anyway. "I don't really know anything about your past or, much about your present either but, from what I've seen of you these past few months, you are a good man," she said. "Not sure if that's a change from what think you were but, that's what I see. We all do things we regret, even those of us who have been secreted away our entire lives, with no chance to really make mistakes. There are ways. No matter how much others try to protect us, not matter how much we try to protect ourselves, we all do stuff we regret."
Her one biggest, most recent, regret floated through her mind. She should never have left Darrin's side that morning.
