\u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t like you. It\u2019s more like I don\u2019t know you.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d He went red again. \u201cI thought you were being all pretentious and coming on to me or something, so I was trying to put you off.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jonah was something of a puzzle: he was so young and yet so direct and confident. Meet me at the deli. I don\u2019t eat that stuff. Are you kidding me? Blunt too. But quick to apologize and be contrite. All in less than an hour. <\/p>\n

Vaughn shrugged. \u201cHis perceptions of me are his problem.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
