"I keep ending up hung up on closet cases or gigantic assholes, it's an issue." Hartley smiled, very aware that Axel was looking at him and he didn't know what to do about it. He liked him, sure. But Axel was Axel, he needed a friend more than a lover, in spite of what he might believe right now. "Are you dating anyone, Lisa? I guess Shawna is stuck."

Shawna nodded, let out a sigh and then kissed Mark to show that she really was just joking. The kissing lasted a while.

Lisa shook her head. "I've been more focused on getting the rogues back together. Besides, I don't know what I want in someone anyway. What are you looking for?"

"Other than no one? I don't know. It'd be nice not to be alone one day. Be someone's special person. I have never really had that."
