Gal never ask questions with simple intention

"Do you think I am beautiful by Singapore standard?" SL ask bluntly after I told her that she can speak frankly.

"Yes, you are. You have sweet looking eyes with a nice small face. You are well-toned, from your constant swimming. You are attractive." I smile as I answered.

It is much later that I realized her question may be more than just a simple question seeking my opinion. It could be her asking for my opinion of her beauty. I will never know if it is what I suspected because I do not want to know as it will ruin for me the delicate balance between our friendship. For I could not behave myself in the same way toward her again.
