*Fair enough.*
Okay. Did he sleep with her while he was with you?

No, he said he didn't really know me when he did...

So, he slept with Kara before he even knew you.

:::She nodded slowly... but just the words... "he slept with her" hurt enough to make the rest of it so little comforting:::

*shrug* I mean, it's not the first time that's happened to anybody. Where we're from, it's just .... understood that that's going to happen.

:::She couldn't help but feel her throat tighten, and she looked away afraid he might see her eyes starting to glaze with tears:::
Maybe this is all very mundane to people like you or him... but I'd never felt the things he made me feel. It's my own fault then, for not knowing any better...

*Luke acts like what she suggested is crazy - cuz well - it is.*
Shut up. No, it's not.
*Luke puts his hand on her shoulder, squeezes it.* Hey, look at me. This is all high school s**t, Slim. Don't let it get to you, okay?

:::She looks at him, as he requested, but it took her a moment for her eyes to meet his:::
:::She sniffled:::
What's highschool...?

*laughs a little and remembers something of a line from Clerks.*
A place that's all about algebra, bad lunch, and infidelity.
*adds* The point is -- you're better than all that s**t, alright?

*Luke rolled his eyes a little and sighed, but hugged her back. Christ, he hated to see her like this. Not only because she was sad - but because she didn't -have- to be.*
Alright. You gonna be okay?

:::She nodded from the place her head rested on his shoulder, not wanting to move away just yet. It was somehow easier to think things would turn out alright in this postion.
It really only took a few more seconds for her to bring herself back up. She really didn't feel as bad now that she'd talked to Luke about it. She sat upright now and looked at Luke closely:::
Thank you for listening to me...

*Luke clears his throat with a grunt.*
Alright.
*adds for posterity* And if this guy Alex gives you any more grief about this, just let me know about it. I'll have a talk with him.
