Tom lay on his bed, unable to sleep as he thought about what he was doing with Lucy and questioned his actions. Was he supposed to feel sorry that he was lying to her? He wasn't doing any of this to hurt her. Maybe if she had been more open to the idea of being in a relationship he would have been able to handle things more differently... Perhaps.
His mind drifted to the conversation they had both had after they left Jasmine's home. Lucy had insisted they sit on the trunk of the car to receive the cool evening breeze before heading for their various apartments.
Sitting on the trunk of the car with their back rested on the back windscreen of the car and looking at the stars that decorated the night sky, Lucy had turned to look at him, "Can I trust you?" She had asked looking at him with hopeful eyes. She was beginning to trust him already, so she needed to know if she could go on trusting him, or if she needed to keep away from him.
