Why Are You Still Single?

Asher neither confirmed nor denied her words; instead, he leaned forward, stared into Elder Katrina's eyes, and asked. "Can I ask you something personal?"

"Of course. Ask away. But whether or not I answer depends on the question itself." Elder Katrina nodded as she gazed back at him with an amused expression on her face.

"I was wondering why you, such a beautiful and seductive woman like yourself, are still single? I can't imagine that there aren't any decent men who would want to have you as their lover. So why didn't you accept any of their advances?"

"Hehe... Why am I single? That's an interesting question indeed. But why do you want to know that?"

"Just curiosity."

"Or maybe you are interested in me?"
