ologized　sheepishly。

？You　don？t　need　to　apologize；？　she　said　in　a　voice　so　neutral　it　was　condescending。

Dan　took　a　seat　next　to　her　on　the　roof　as　darkness　descended。　The　backyard　was　so　dark　he

could　just　barely　make　out　the　sparse　tops　of　lilac　bushes　and　the　burning　embers　of　people？s

Northwest；　but　even　his　poet？s　imagination　wasn？t　quite　that　strong。

There？s　no　oxygen　up　here。　Not　enough　for　two　。　。　。

Friends　with　benefits；　maybe？

？Totally；？　Dan　agreed；　nodding。　He　knew　what　was　ing。
