Was there more to love? Would her heart ever open up enough to really let someone in, to feel any more than she did with Travis? She found the whole situation extremely confusing.
    Lex’s phone rang from the table, and Kara’s face was on the screen making a kissey face.
    “Hey,” Lex answered.
    “Yo,” Kara said. “You owe me some dirt. I’m downstairs, so you better be here.”
    “Yup. Want some tea?”
    “Mmm, that sounds good. It’s freezing outside. Be right up.”
    Travis walked in, shirtless and sweaty, and stretched his arms over his head, hooking his fingers on the door frame. His jeans hung low on the eye-popping ‘v’ his hips made as he leaned forward.  
    Her cheeks flushed as she poured hot water into two mugs.  
    “Roe texted me. We’re going to go get my gear from the garage.”
    “Oh, god. Spike won’t be there, will he?”
    “He shouldn’t be. I hope he’s not, anyway.”
    “Bless his heart,” she said with a mock pout as she ripped open two tea bags and dunked them into the water.
    “Two teas?”
    “Kara’s on her way over.”
    “Well, I’ll be gone a few hours, so carry on with the gab-fest as long as you want.”
    He turned for their bedroom, stopping in front of the door when a knock rapped.
    “I got it,” Travis said and pulled the door open.  
    “Well, hello, sir.” Kara’s eyebrow reached for her dark hairline as she appraised his goods.
    That really should bother me , Lex thought as she dropped a few sugar cubes in and stirred.
      “Ma’am.” Travis tipped an imaginary hat and gave her a wink.
    Kara headed into the kitchen, curvy hips swaying with her neck craned to watch Travis walk away. She almost ran into the table, catching herself at the last possible second. She hung her bag on the back of a kitchen chair like nothing happened.  
    “Tea?” Lex smirked as she offered up a steaming cup with a string draped over the side.  
    “Thanks, friend.” Kara leaned over her cup, and her dark hair fell over her shoulder. She closed her icy blue eyes and breathed deep. “Mmm.”
    Lex took a seat across from Kara at her kitschy 50’s diner table, complete with turquoise Formica and chrome, which was one of her favorite vintage finds.
    “Bye, girls, have fun,” Travis said as he shrugged on his jacket.
    “Toodles.” Kara twiddled her fingers at him.
    Lex rolled her eyes, smiling as the door closed behind him. “Shameless.”
    “Moi?” Kara feigned surprise.
    “Ha. So innocent.”
    Kara batted her lashes and stirred her tea. “So, let’s hear it.”
    “I don’t know where to start.”
    “Julie Andrews would say the beginning.”
    “It is a very nice place to start.” Lex sighed. “That makes it sound so easy.”
    “Well, you had the ‘over it’ look last night. Are Mr. Travis’ days numbered? Because my bed has been awfully cold lately, and, well, he’s just so very virile.”
    A laugh bubbled out of Lex. “He really is. Virile. Like incredibly virile.”
    “What’s the problem?” she asked chastely, eyebrows raised as she sipped her tea.
    “Is it love?”
    “If you have to ask yourself that question, then the answer is probably no.”
    “But we’re obviously compatible. I do love him, but it’s not that starry-eyed love, the self-sacrificing, soulmate kind of love. But then I have to ask myself if that even exists.”  
    “I believe that it does, and I think you do too.”
    “But is it real? Or is it just some bullshit line that Hollywood and romance novels feed us? Some impossible standard? I mean, why shouldn’t I be with Travis?”
    “If you don’t love him, I’d say that’s probably reason number one.”  
    “Maybe I’m just not trying hard enough.”
    “I’m almost positive that you can’t force yourself to love someone.”
    “No, I know, but I do care about him. I want to make him happy, and I want to be there for him.” Lex shook her head. “Maybe I’m just broken. And if I’m broken, then is that fair to
