Making Things Clear

Sarah put her hands over her mouth at the shout that came out before she could stop it.

"Sorry! Sorry! I was just so shocked," Sarah said. She was. Kay had never said anything? Why? She couldn't help but take a look at Kay, who caught her look.

What could Kay say, though? That it had been a mission? No.

[Just what are you up to, brother?]

[Simple. I need to cut certain dreams down. I'm sorry, Kay but it has to be done before it gets any worse. I've never done anything before because she's your friend and she never crossed the line but ... well, I have to make things clear. This is the fastest way to kill her hopes without letting her know that I know about her feelings. At least, I won't embarrass her that way.]

Kay sighed to herself but she knew he was right. Kyle had always been decisive whenever it came to girls who harboured romantic feelings towards him. He didn't want them to have hope so he would often be ruthless (in their eyes) whenever he set the boundaries.
