She shook her head, settling down beside him. "I wish it was that simple. I fell for Matt because he was Matt: there was no Katara involved there, and even when I told him who I was, he didn't care. He wanted me, and I wanted him. With Nokosi, its different."

Kaya took a breath. "We have deep conversations, he makes me smile. Just being around him, I feel lighter, like he's got this way of making everything feel relaxed. But I also know he doesn't really engage in relationships, like you and Ronnae. I don't want to do anything like that if I'm not sure he could try to feel the same way. I'd rather just be with him, hanging out, talking and enjoying his company. If he has no interest, it'll at least save me the heartache."
