He popped the pinch of brownie into his mouth and stared at the table. His eyes met hers and he wasn't sure what to say. He wanted tell her how much he really cared about her. Swallowing he popped another piece of brownie into his mouth. "To explore of course," he said with a not so heartfelt smile. He couldn't do it, he couldn't tell her.
Noticing him brush off her statement, but understanding in a way why, she takes another piece of brownie and puts it into her mouth.
Raising an eyebrow at his comment to explore, she laughs lightly.
"You, explore?" she comments. She knew that yes, he may explore, but that was waaaay to unlikely.
Wishing she had the nerve, to say something herself, she figures they'd never know how the other felt. She just couldn't bring herself to do it.
