When his hand touched his collar, he realized he wasn't wearing a tie. He paused, then mbuttoned his shirt and asked, "Why didn't you call me before coming over?"

If she could seize this moment to enter the bathroom and offer herself, maybe she and Darren could take their relationship to the next level. Their relationship had reached a standstill because they hadn't had sex yet. Would she have to watch Darren and Natalie reunite if she didn't take the initiative right away?
