Rayford looked uncertainly into Mac’s eyes, dimly illuminated by the glow from the control panel. For the moment, God seemed silent. He had not made a habit of speaking directly to Rayford, though Rayford had enjoyed his share of answers to prayer. There was no turning back now. While he sensed no divine green light, neither did he sense a red or even a yellow. Knowing the outcome could be a result of his own foolishness, he realized he had nothing to lose.
Out of context, this 100% reads like Rayford trying to decide whether to have sex with Mac. I don’t know why these passages never come up for any heterosexual pairings — maybe the playing field would be leveled if there were more women doing things in these books.
