"He's..." April laughs again, a dry, humourless sound and she doesn't know if this is the sort of conversation she wants to have with anyone, let alone Les, but this news makes her feel sick and she has no idea what to do with it. She's so relieved they haven't actually done anything and she shifts on the bed, letting herself just enjoy the feeling of Les' arm around her. It's probably not normal to discuss the potential sexual partners a person has had with the person they're currently sleeping with, but she needs to explain her reaction.

"I met him before I met you and he... we flirted. Fairly extensively," she admits and the words taste sour in her mouth. She's related to this man who has flirted with her, who's called her beautiful and put his arm around her in a far more than simply friendly manner. As recent as that birthday party she attended, she'd made suggestions about seeing him naked and all she can do now is be relieved nothing have ever come of it. "Jesus."
