"I saw Chase." By saw, Ryan means "literally walked into". Normally that would have just left him with a slightly sore shoulder but now 50lbs lighter and feeling like an awkward teenager in this body, it knocked him to the floor.
Chase, of course, was apologetic and helpful. (Damn him.) He tried to help "Audrey" up and apologized profusely. Somewhere between his embarrassed smile, the warmth of his hand on his and being struck by how much taller and stronger Chase now was, Ryan realized he was attractive. Not in the oblique way he knew other men were attractive because they were healthy or symmetrical or whatever. But in the way that his skin tingled at the touch and he almost wanted to smile when Chase did. He was attractive because in this body, Ryan was attracted to him.
With a horrified look and without saying a word, Ryan ran out of the bar leaving Chase confused and calling after "Audrey".
