WHILE Astrid was having a fun conversation with Wulfric, back in the living room, two people were feeling the exact opposite of fun.
After Astrid went to his room, an awkward silence filled the living room. Lauren wanted to break the irritating silence, but somehow, words just wouldn't come out of his mouth. He couldn't even remember how exactly the two of them bickered with each other.
It was fine when Astrid was around. Because the other was like some kind of a rope holding them together. He was the one facilitating the conversation between the three. No, it was more accurate to say that he was the only one the two were talking to while completely ignoring each other.
Now that Astrid left them alone, Lauren suddenly didn't know what to do. This was a first for him. Someone who always started the conversation, someone who always spoke his mind, someone who never hesitated, suddenly didn't know what to do.
