not particularly eager
Sara Roberts & Darren Jones
Our e-mails had begun as infrequent, very general notes, which I answered only because he wrote. When a girl suspects a guy of being interested in her, and has already eliminated him as a possibility, she isn’t particularly eager to build a relationship with him.
When you hear a love story it is the description of something that happened, not a prescription of how to make that very same thing happen in your own life.
