Alex was pretty confused as Cole began to speak of a woman he had interests for but no chance with.  They were best friends, why wouldn't he tell her about the mystery woman?  Maybe she was back in Toronto?

He laid his hand on top of hers as gentle as could be.  Alex's jaw hit the floor.  The more he spoke the clearer everything became.

"Cole, do you think..?  Oh my God.  Cole, do you think I'm only into women?"  This [i]had[/i] to be it.  He wasn't close enough to many women to feel how he described and he was pretty confused the day they met.  That was the only time Alex mentioned her ex.  Now that she thought of it, that was the only ex she ever mentioned.  None of the guys she dated in the past were a conversation topic.  Plus Cole assuming she was upset because she hadn't been with a woman in a while.  Everything clicked.  "Cole, am I the woman you think you don't have a chance with?  I like men too!  I kissed [i]you![/i]  Remember?"
