QUOTE : It’s also quite possible she still detests me.”<br /> <br />Tyler dismissed this with a wave. “You’re going to let a thing like that stop you?”<br /> <br />“I was thinking intense despisement might be an obstacle in pursuing her, yes.”<br /> <br />“No, see, that’s what makes it all the more interesting,” Tyler said. He adopted a grandly dramatic tone. “‘Does our fair Ms. Kendall truly loathe the arrogant Mr. Jameson as she so ardently proclaims, or is it all just a charade to cover more amorous feelings for a man she reluctantly admires?’”<br /> <br />Up front, the cabdriver snorted loudly. He appeared to be enjoying the show.<br /> <br />“Psych 101 again?” J.D. asked.<br /> <br />Tyler shook his head. “Lit 305: Eighteenth-Century Women’s Fiction.” He caughtJ.D.’s look and quickly defended himself. “What? I took it because of the girls in the class. Anyway, I see a bit of a P and P dynamic going on between you and Payton.”<br /> <br />J.D. didn’t think he wanted to know. Really.
