"It was great!" responded Sean, in response to Mikkel's query.  "We discovered that the beach only goes as far around as you can see, and then it turns into cliff-line."  He winked at Beth.  "And also that Beth looks really good in a tank top and running shorts."  He didn't mention the boathouse, or what had happened--or had<em>failed</em>to happen--in there.    He was beginning to sense that Beth wasn't bitter or offended by the awkwardness of the situation, which was good.  He would hate to give her the wrong signal.  It wasn't that he wasn't interested in her.  He was<em>very much</em>interested in her, which was the<em>entire reason</em>he had resisted her advances.  It made no sense, even to him, but there it was.<br/><br/>There would be plenty of time for flirting with Beth later, though.  Sean was still extremely annoyed about what had happened with Katy, but he felt bad for allowing himself to take it out on Rachel.  She was a lovely girl, and she was in an awkward position.  "I'll help too," he volunteered.  "I'm something of a musician.  Perhaps I can play you a sonata later."  He turned up the wattage on his grin, the same grin that he knew was Kryptonite to so many women.  It was really a shame she hadn't been around for the lie/lie/truth game.  "Aikido?" he added.  "I'm not familiar with that...is that like judo, or is that more like karate?"
