and a miss. It's sort of strange, in away. Rose spent the better part of a year having almost any advance reciprocated near instantaneously. Even the ones that weren't, she took as a personal challenge. Like Jaden and his playing hard to get, his mixed signals and wanting to keep things causal. The chase is a unique brand of fun.
This isn't a challenge though. This is a cold stone wall; the dark tinge his eyes take have her instincts immediately say that to try and chase down this rabbit hole might be a bad idea. Not that entertaining bad ideas is anything new for her. Still.
His chill is met with warmth. She smiles all the while, not seeming to be put off in the slightest. "Nice to meet you, dude," is said as she takes his hand and gives it a shake.

At least this is a nicer welcome than last month's."
