[He doesn't know what it is about Gaura that always leads to them touching, but when he's offered a hug he doesn't hesitate for a second. He feels guilty even phrasing it how he did, but it was the crux of the issue regardless of intent or outcome.]

I don't know. It wasn't on purpose. He was actually saving it from going down one of those big drains at the waterworks park when it slipped off my head. He talked me into going and I had to wear this um.. this really tight outfit? I mean, everyone else was wearing even less but I never dreamed of going in public like that before.

But I didn't think about tying my ribbon more carefully and it.. if this was back home, the scandal of him having it would've resulted in me having to marry him. Now, I kind of don't know what it means.
