Roughly based on the book “Too Hot to Sleep” by Stephanie Bond

A Message from The Manwell:

Hello again there faithful readers. This story reached out and bit me and, like a Gila monster, just wouldn’t let go even after I beat it to death. (And, in case you’re wondering, Gila monsters have a reputation for locking their jaws on their prey and not even death can loosen their grip. Now you know...)

So here we are: “Shy” is a shifting perspective story in third person, alternating between the two main characters. And no, I won’t tell you who they are. Don’t you want to be surprised?? And, while we’re on the subject of being surprised, I should mention that some of the details about each of the characters’ professions will likely be strange. I didn’t do any research, so suspend your disbelief and just go with it, okay? Oh, and Quatre is wonderfully schwanky in this story.

So, yes, your suspicions are correct: unlike “Shinigami Sleeps” and “The Stand-In” this story is purely FLUFF. You’ve been warned. *shakes head and grumbles* I can’t believe I actually wrote something this *winces* cute... Bleh...
