8 like really nice. And then he kept like staring at me and
9 stuff. And then like I did a massage and he just kept
10 looking at me and he was like oh, you're being shy and I'm
11 like yeah. And he's like do you feel uncomfortable and I
12 was like yeah, a little bit. And he's like okay. And he
13 said well do you want to stop, and I was like no, it's okay.
14 And he was like why are you like being shy and I was like
15 oh, I don't know. And then he would like change the subject
16 and he started talking about other things. And then when we
17 were done he said that if like I wanted to come back and do
