"It's been a while." Geoffrey began as he moved the chair Milly vacated so that when he sat on it, he was facing Serena. "how have you been these days?"
Serena felt a little awkward. Although they have been friendly at some point, that was before that kiss and him professing his intentions happened. Anyway, he has been nothing but nice to her lately, and she felt a little guilty that she can't simply return his feelings. Thus, she tried not to be unwelcoming and smiled at him.
"I have been fine. How about you?"
"I've been well too. This came as a pleasant surprise, that we're partners in this class now, that is. Do you have any song in mind for the coming evaluation?" he asked trying to sound casual. He thought about how to best approach Serena. He wanted to pursue her but did not want to look excessive.
"How about Tchaikovsky's Swan lake?" Serena suggested. She did not want to memorize another classical piece if she didn't have to.
