MORIA
He wasn’t lying.
I knew exactly what he meant but I would sooner chew and swallow my own tongue than I would I admit it out loud.
Instead I do what any self respecting, recently disgraced female would do in a situation like this.
Nothing.
Which of course would be easier if he stopped looking at me like that.
Choosing to ignore the sentence and pretend it never even happened is easier said than done and I find myself subconsciously adjusting in my seat.
He watches me quietly, and I can tell from the way he lifts a corner of his mouth that he’s amused at my squirming.
I reach for a second mug just so I can have something to do with my hands.
"It grows fast you know."
"What?"
He’s confused and rightfully so.
Back on earth we call this a “cop out’ Tristen. Watch and learn.
