Title: Renewal 3
Rating: PG
Length: 213 words
Competitor: Raoul
Round/Fight: 2/A
Summary: Kel tries to be realistic.
“I am a married man,” Raoul admitted. “But Buri and I don't have the most conventional relationship. We were both single for twenty years before we found each other. The things we had then... didn't just disappear. Kel, she has her life, and I have mine. There is joy when our lives intersect, but when they don't, we are happy separately, as we always have been.”
“Be that as it may, I'm not something you had before Buri. Will she really see it the same way?”
“Yes.” Kel could tell he wanted, very much, to touch her, but he wasn't sure she'd let him. Good – it served him right to be off balance, just then. Still, she could definitely feel herself responding to his interest.
It wasn't something she'd thought of much – not something she'd let herself consider, if she was honest. But the interest – the potential – was there.
“I think I'd like to talk to Buri,” Kel said at last. “I'll see for myself if she feels the way you say she will.”
She looked Raoul in the eye as she said it, waiting for a flinch of fear or uncertainty that would tell her he was lying. Instead he nodded calmly.

Maybe once we'd have seen it during Smackdown!
