Karyn Wishes She and Jon Could Date

Karyn clutched Jon's hand even tighter, making contact with the stone between his fingers. "I just wish we *could* date, without looking weird in front of our friends. You're almost like one of the girls." Jon cringed, hearing Karyn say the word "wish". He knew that the stone was in his hand and Karyn was holding his hand. He braced himself, waiting for the stone grow warm in his hand.
