"I'm just..." I shook my head and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Seth. I have to go."I left him there and Seth was unhappy, but being a gentleman ...bout it, at least as much as he could be. I'd just rejected him in the middle of what seemed to be a pretty good time and he was doubtlessly wondering what he'd done wrong. I felt bad about that, but I was filled with anxiety because I'd come so close to letting him kiss me. A man I wasn't married to, kissing me in public? He was a white man too.

She leaned over to the young man, whispering, “Will I get to see you later?” He smirked as he whispered back, “You sure will,” Sabrina giggled in excitement as the two departed to their assigned.
