"Why can't you say a nice thing after all that?" Lucas rolled his eyes.
I resisted the urge to say it felt sketchy because that would be my creature bias talking.
I could only bite my tongue for now.
"Don't force it."
I took the ring but that didn't make our walk back any less awkward. What was with the mood change? It's like we were stopped in the middle of doing it, and we weren't.
Was it because I took the ring but hadn't praised him.
Fuck, I wish I could stop thinking.
"Hey Tyler!" A cheery voice called out from the small restaurant we were passing.
"Delancy?" I asked. "What're you doing out here at night?"
"I came out with Lance. Some woman slapped him," Delancy shook her head.
I shouldn't. "Why?"
"Ask him," she looked over it before giving Lucas an awkward look. Oh right, he told her to stay away from me.
