Villain Ch 1987. I Don't Do One-night Stands

"No. I'm just not used to being called 'so big' in a panic voice."

Allen looked over. "Yeah. Why?"
She shrugged, voice quieter. "Just… I dunno. Didn't think you'd stay."
He set his coffee down.
"Mila."
She froze.
"I told you last night. I don't do one-night stands."
She bit her lip. "I know. I just… wanted to believe it."
Allen leaned forward, elbow on knee. His voice softer now.
