Moonspear that’s just who i am this week.

Penn expected her to ignore him entirely for a lot longer, but he determined that he'd underestimated just how much he annoyed her. He wasn't sure if it was a good sign or not. He still had no idea what she actually thought about him—she had quite the blackbelt in mixed signals. So, since she got pissed when he was around her and pissed when he left, he was just going to keep doing whatever he felt like doing and let her feel whatever way she wanted to about it.

The question did throw him, though. He wasn't sure exactly what she meant by it—whether she meant why was he following her this morning, or why he had decided to follow her now at this point in their lives? He'd thought he'd made the latter clear during their heartfelt reunion. But the former just didn't make any sense to him as a question. So, he opted to take a different route altogether.

"The gravitational pull of your sunny disposition was simply too much for me to resist," Penn answered casually.
