RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist#PennedPossibilities 1044 — SC POV: What stupid question have you heard someone ask (or have asked yourself)?
(Molt, University student, an MC Bolt "love interest," SC:)
Bolt once said, "[†]," and it not only made me laugh, but I consented to do as she asked. She's disarmingly direct around me, like an upper schooler jock who failed to grow up after graduating expecting to get away with anything on good looks and an athletic aura. Can't believe she's ten years older than me.
† She said something equivalent to May West's famous line:
Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?
Except there's no fire arms in their world and, for reasons that are spoilers so I can't explain, pockets are problematic. Still. Something like that. Bolt's like that around men she fancies.
