Maybe in the future. The problem is that the prospect of being in a relationship with anyone gives Aubrey terrible anxiety and that problem needs to be solved first before she would accept something like that. She keeps telling herself that if it is only casual sex she can't get hurt. So MC probably needs to work with Riley while he establishes his own relationship with Aubrey. Her birthday is a very important day for this and there is a lot that can go wrong.

I still have that scene in the story and I guess the reason is I used a save from the previous version. So when I loaded that safe of mine in this latest version, this scene started all over and it ended up with the dean finding the dog outside on the corridor, as he managed to get away while they were fucking. She sisn't catch them doing it though, but still was fed up with them that the dog ran away, they had no clue about that and that they didn't feed him.
Has she changed? Or are you just getting to see the real Aubrey since she let you get close? Originally it was supposed to be casual sex .. I think she's preferred casual to relationships *because* she suffers with anxiety and tries to avoid it.
I agree. Some characters have changed but I don't feel that Aubrey has when you remember the backstory she tells you about how she used to be. I feel that what we see now is the real Aubrey she has hidden away. Just the fact that she now gets upset when you hurt her feelings shows why she usually doesn't let people in.
Most people in real life are like that. You see a facade until you get to know them better. When you get to know people better, and they like you, they tend to open up more and show their true feelings. If a romance grows, they will get hurt and show it, as opposed to a one night stand that goes nowhere romantically.
