"By the way, Mom said I don't need to come over tomorrow night," Blair said as she helped him clean up and put his pants back on. "I asked why, but she didn't answer me. She was being all mysterious about it."
"Does it have something to do with me?"
"Mom sometimes does things that are a bit out of the ordinary," Blair replied. "If you need anything, just call me."
"It can't be that serious. Your mom is usually pretty sensible," Ethan realized that this might be her way of wanting to spend some time alone with him.
Could it be related to what happened this morning?
In a way, he had confessed his feelings this morning.
Was she planning to respond to him?
"Don't get any weird ideas. You're not in my mom's dating pool," Blair said as she turned to leave. "And a woman in her thirties making a move on you, Ethan, would be pretty creepy."
"I don't have any weird ideas! Why are you accusing me out of nowhere?" Ethan defended himself.
