"What's your surname? I only know your first name." Lanie chuckled. She met him months ago but she still doesn't know his surname.
"Andres. I'm Kieffer Andres. Best friend slash business partner of Tyler Lancaster and older brother of Catherine Andres." Lanie nodded and smiled at him genuinely, which made Kieffer speechless. This is the first time he saw Lanie smile that… genuinely.
"I'm Lanie Dyce Vergara. It is nice to meet you." He chuckled.
"Yeah, nice to meet you, too." They both stayed silent after that and both looked outside. The rain will stop soon.
Lanie faced Kieffer, who was still looking outside. She feels more comfortable around him. Little did she know, that was what Kieffer wanted. To be comfortable in someone else's company and not only in her own company. Kieffer thought Lanie wanted someone to stay, listen and comfort her every time she felt wrecked and whenever she pushed people away just because of what happened to her.
