Deepwood Weald The way of the tramp

Hmm. He had a point. Pretty fuckin funny if that was the case though, because if he'd told her he wasn't interested in marriage, why'd she even begin to think he'd chase her down for it? Maybe she was a little off her rocker, or maybe she'd been lying just to reel him in and test whether he was telling the truth.

Well shit, either way, he'd dodged a fuckin bullet man.

The man's last statement had Zane outright laughing by the end of it. It took him a couple beats to stop long enough to reply. Look, dude, that might be your way of workin but it definitely isn't mine. He shook his head. You're probably right, in which case I'm better off. I don't need any chick who wants attention that bad. I ain't the marriage kind and I got no use lyin.

Funny, talking to this stranger had helped, in the end. Zane eyed him another moment. Was this guy for real, though? You got a real chivalry-type thing goin on there, don't you? That for real? Or was it just bullshit he used to drum up interest?
