After the question escaped his lips, he realised what he had just done and cringed in embarrassment.
Lisa stared blankly at him. The look she gave him could probably pass for her 'surprised face'.
Did it concern him whether she slept in someone else's house or not? So why was he asking all of a sudden?
"It's not like I'm being curious or something." He quickly explained to her in a loud and awkward voice.
"So if you don't want to answer it, then it's fine."
He waited patiently for a few seconds, and when Lisa continued to look at him like that without saying anything, he turned to leave.
He only succeeded in taking two steps forward before he turned to face her again.
"So....?" He tilted his head to the side slightly as he asked.
"So?" She asked back in her natural tone.
Tom sighed in frustration. Was she dumb or was she pretending to be dumb?
