"It's not that," Sookie shakes her head immediately, pressing her lips firmly together. While it may be a little strange, this turn of events (almost makes her wonder how she'd feel if she ever discovered that Tara and Bill decided to start a relationship, only that thought is so ridiculous that it doesn't remain in her thoughts for long), what she wants more than anything is for everyone involved to be happy. For everything to work out. With that end in mind, she runs her fingers through her hair, taking a deep breath. "It's definitely not that he minds being around you, Sarah, he wouldn't... there's no point in him kissin' a woman twice unless he cares about her. But he's got a lot of reasons for keeping away from people he might come to care, in his mind, too much about. It's part of the reason why things didn't work out between us, 'cause I kept on running in his direction, far too fast for him to cope with."

Leaning forward, Sookie rests her chin in her palm, brows knitting. "So how much has he actually told you? Because he cares a lot about his privacy, and I... care about him enough still not to want to breach that again."
