Kaya glanced up uncertainly but found herself blushing all the same at the things he was saying about her. And she believed him, despite everything Bryant had always been honest with her, sometimes to a point where she wished he wouldn’t be so honest but it was nice to know she could take everything he said at face value rather than trying to read between the lines or search for deeper meanings. Despite everything it did make her feel a lot better hearing it. “Thanks.” She eventually said, giving him a grateful smile. “You usually know what to say to make me feel better.” She teased.

And sometimes he missed the mark completely. “I still think I’d like to meet your other friends sometime though.” Kaya insisted. Even if they weren’t people she’d usually associate with. She wasn’t as easily offended as Bryant sometimes thought she was, only when it came to her family or friends, other than that she was usually pretty resilient, one had to be when they resolved not to fight people. And these people were important to Bryant, even if he didn’t say nice things about them they were people he hung out with. The academic in her was also interested to see how he behaved around other boys.
