Mike sat with an amused smile on his face as he watched Sean put the moves on Beth. They really were cute together, and even after only a few short hours they seemed to have formed a genuine bond. He like that; that they were both open and trusting enough to have that kind of fondness for each other already. Although in truth, Mike would have a hard time denying he had a fondness for any of the three people surrounding him.<br/><br/>His hand absently traced over the tops of Katy’s fingers as Sean and Beth made their guesses. It was only when it became his turn that he realized he was doing it, and retracted his hand. His gaze shifted upward to Katy’s eyes, searching them. “I have to think it was that your mother caught you losing your virginity. A story like that must be true.”<br/><br/>Mike kept his gaze upon her as he thought about the other choices, but his look was soft rather than intense. As the floating candles became the dominant light source, her eyes began to flicker with sparkle, and Mike was captivated by her pure beauty. Then he remembered he was still in the midst of his guess. “I’m going with Beth on this one: that you really have left Montana before. Still, I’ve never been there. I would love to hear all about it. It sounds like a place where you ride horses.”
