The smile remained on Sinead's lips, though it had become gentler. The questions were in every way justified - even the fact that they were on Tanis' mind was so expected, that it had been the most plausible explanation as to why their kiss had been cut short last night.<br/>"No," she replied, her voice low but easy. The reply came as a response to both questions, though she knew much more could be said.<br/>Sinead had no doubt in her mind that she had love for Avi, and vice versa, but not in the way Tanis had asked the question. It was a longer, complicated explanation that Sinead didn't feel like the situation invited it. She did, however, realize Tanis deserved it, at some point or another.<br/>Above all, Tanis deserved to be the one to pace them and their relation. Sinead could understand if Tanis wanted to wait for her case to be resolved, if only for the distinction of no longer spending time around Avi. Sinead did, however, not want to suggest it, selfishly wanting to feel her close again.<br/>"Is it for you?" she asked, gently and with great patience.
