"I am content with things as they are." And she honestly is. For all that she's come to realize her attraction and is finding time to be curious about romance, friendship is still enough for her.

The thing she finds herself desiring most is just affectionate contact, not necessarily intimate. She would like a hug, or the opportunity to snuggle up with a close friend more than she wishes for kisses or sex.

"Perhaps one day I'll feel differently, but for now all I wish for is companionship."
