"I like you." Denny blushed at the comment, she attempted to regain her composure as Charlie looked over at her and continued, "I've never met anyone who was as passionate about music as I was."

Idle chatter passed between the two for a few more minutes before Charlie asked another big question, "So, tell me about your love life. There has to be someone special in your life huh?" 

Denny's eyes went wide as she blushed a bright pink, noticing Charlie's giggle, she stuttered a little, "Umm, w-well..." She glanced over to notice the appraising look in Charlie's eye, it was teasing, but it was still waiting for an answer, she was still smiling, despite the fresh wound.

[i]...well, she was certainly direct[/i]

"N-not really anyone, no... not since high school, I had a few boyfriends and uhh... [i]p-partners.[/i] But since then, it's mostly just been me and the music-- m-maybe something that, y'know, lasts a night or two... but no one [i]special[/i]," She sunk into the truck seat with a sigh, "Not yet, at least..." a gentle smile appear on her face after a time, "...Here's hoping...!"
