"Now, now. The terms were very clear. You had two weeks to make your move and seal the deal, and you couldn't even get that far. So, as per our agreement, I'm taking it all back, with interest. Maybe I'll borrow a little for the trip home; it's a long walk, after all.

As much as I hate to make this sound like one of those stories, if you had just actually listened to her, tried to make some kind of emotional connection, you wouldn't have gotten into this mess. You seriously thought that was what she was after? Someone more than twice her size, so broad they have to squeeze through the door? You thought all she wanted was a killer body?

I mean, well, you weren't wrong. I mean, you got it as wrong as you could while still being right. But there I go, spoiling the surprise. Don't worry; I have it on very good authority that she'll like you just fine like this. After all, someone had to set up this little deal in the first place, didn't they."
