Chapter 462 Lori's Wonder:>83

• My mind was reeling with this sudden influx of information; no wonder Davey had accepted that he and I could make this work; he'd already seen it happen before, and it had worked out perfectly for his best and closest friends! When it happened to him, he was already subconsciously primed to accept it. His reaction to me and my scheming made sense now. His willingness to be with me was so headlong and wholehearted because he knew from his friends' experiences how it could be, even if he didn't register it at the top of his mind at the time.
• I don't believe he'd ever sat down and consciously thought out or planned anything that had happened between us; he didn't need to, he already knew, because he was already in a receptive state when I made a play for him. In truth, I believe he was truly unaware at the time that he was ready for me if we should somehow embark on something, but that didn't stop him responding so positively, because I don't honestly think he could have done anything different.
• "'Snotty little brat sister', eh? You'll pay for that, Doctor-Man!" was all I said though, and it was kind of half-hearted; I was too busy having insights, not something I do on a regular basis; I kind of live on my skin, but everything Davey had said, and the train of thought it had set off in me made true and perfect sense in a way not much else did most of the time. Davey had jumped at me because he was ready to accept me, even if he didn't consciously know why, but now I did. He and I have a lot to thank his friends and their choices for.
