Evangeline was confused. “What do you mean, Mr. Chance?”
“Um... Um...” Jared was embarrassed and at a loss for words.
“Mr. Chance, you can say whatever you have in mind.” Evangeline didn't know what was on Jared's mind.
“Ms. Gunderson, did I violate you when I was unconscious?” Jared asked.
“Violate me?” Evangeline was baffled. “How could you have violated me when you were out cold, Mr. Chance?”
Jared panicked and blurted, “How do I put this... I just want to know if we had sex when I was unconscious.”
“Sex? With you?” Evangeline took quite a while to register what she had just heard. By the time she had wrapped her mind around what was happening, she blushed and uttered in displeasure, “Mr. Chance, I admit I have feelings for you.

Jared kept apologizing, hoping that Evangeline would forgive him.
Evangeline noticed how sincere Jared's apologies were, so she knew he was telling the truth. While blushing, she asked, “Mr. Chance, why would you have such dreams when you already have so many women around you? Could it be that you've been feeling lonely ever since you got here because you haven't had a female companion?”
Jared quickly waved dismissively and answered, “No, Ms. Gunderson. You've got the wrong idea. Although there are many women by my side, I've never gotten intimate with any of them. To be honest, I'm still a virgin...”
