Imagination
Eli leaned in closed to Clare and asked "Can I try something?". "Sure" Clare whispered back. Very gently Eli placed his palm on Clare's cheek and leaned in. Eli's lips had
barely touched her lips when she pulled away. "I'm sorry, can we go upstairs please? I'm very tired and stressed about exams". "It's alright. Why don't you go upstairs and
I'll go get your stuff from Morty". As Clare started to go the stairs, Eli grabbed his keys from the table and started heading to his car. "Did I do something wrong? Why did
she pull away?" Eli wondered to himself. "Maybe she is actually tired". While Eli was outside getting Clare's belonging she was in Eli's bathroom standing in front of the
mirror and asking herself why she had pulled away? She trusts Eli and knows he would never force her to do anything she didn't want and would stop if she says so. So
why is she afraid of being close to Eli? She had enjoyed the topless make out they had last time, was she embarrassed that she had enjoyed herself or was she scared to be
naked in front of Eli?
