Tessa noticed the slight smile on his face
making her glad that he does want her to
stay even if he won’t admit it. “I have
no where to be, so I guess I can
make an exception.”

“& I suppose I could use some company,”
was admitted almost as a continuation of
her sentence. The ghost of a smile lingered
in the corner of his mouth. Brown eyes did
a quick sweep of their surroundings, just as
they did every five seconds; a guardian on
duty never allowed himself to be distracted
enough to become unaware of his surroundings.
