She blushed, caught out. She didn't want to directly admit the true answer, and instead skirted around it. "To help a friend, and spend time with him," she explained, slightly sheepishly.
He nodded when she asked if he was ok. "Yeah. Just thought about you striking off on your own."
Distracted by the thoughts of her independence, he just kept nodding. "Yeah. He is a bit babyish...or he was the last time I saw him. And my preference is to believe that no boys are cute." He said the last bit with a wry twist of the lips.
She blushed. Again. She seemed to be doing that. he hoped she wasn't getting sick. And with that, she added words. "You want to spend time with me?" he asked her, a bit incredulous.
