But ... that guy was maybe never going to even happen now. And he was old, forty, so it wasn't like she wanted to date him while she was almost-nineteen.

"I think I had a little crush on the older Priestly," Dinah admitted, sounding embarrassed. "Me, I mean. Not just Her. But he's gone. I mean, really gone."
