“Right…right. He has no idea we know anything. Any maybe it’s nothing. I’ll have to…to do some investigating. No big deal.” Alice looked around, still trying to get a grasp on her surroundings. “I can’t believe I cried in front of you,” she murmured, wiping at her eyes with a deep sigh. “I um…it’s getting late and dark, maybe we should go inside.” She felt safer inside the tent anyway. Suddenly being out in the open like they were didn’t sound so great.

“I’ll change and let you know when I’m done.” Alice gave him one last look before going inside the tent, changing into a set of black shorts and a white tanktop. “Okay!” she called, sitting with her legs pulled up against her, chin ontop of her knees and arms around her legs when he came in. “This is so not how I pictured this night with you going. Not at all what I planned,” she said as both an apology and disappointment to herself as she opened her phone. There was already a friend texting her asking how the night was going. She’d only told one that she was coming here with him…maybe even that’d been a mistake.
