"Karyn, we're not dating," Jon said. "And we don't have a date this weekend."
She laughed. "Of course we're not dating. You're a really good friend, Jon, but I don't have feelings for you. I never have."
"Then why did you kiss me?" he asked, testing her.

"Huh?"
"Come on, Jon. You lost the bet. Now, cough up the money." She held out her hand.
"How much ..."
"Oh, like you don't remember. You're the one that made the bet." When she saw that Jon still didn't know, she said "Ten bucks."
"Ten?" He sighed, then gave her ten dollars. But then, he wondered why he was so disgruntled about it. He could just make her give it back. "Give me the money back."
Karyn then gave him the ten dollars back. "I can't take this money, Jon. You know how I feel about making bets."
