When she was settled in the car beside Tyler, Maddy folded…
““When she was settled in the car beside Tyler, Maddy folded her hands on her lap. "I've got two things I want to ask you." "Sure. Shoot." "If I were, like, ten years older and had actual breasts, would you go for me?" "Jesus, Maddy." "I don't have a crush on you or anything. I sort of did when we first moved here, but I got over it. You're too old for me, and I'm not ready for a serious relationship, or sex." "Damn right you're not." "But when I am ready, I want to know if a guy would go for me. Theoretically.””
