"There is nothing to feel embarrassed about," Tom said, trying hard not to chuckle at how red her face had become.
"I think I should probably leave now," Lucy said as she stood up to leave, but Tom shook his head.
"Why? Because you feel embarrassed over something you said when you were drunk? Things I don't even hold against you? Come on, we are both adults and we are better than that." Tom chided.
'You might be, but I'm not.' Lucy said in her head, "No that's not it. I just need to rest since I'm very much exhausted from the unpacking and I have to resume early tomorrow at the office. Thanks for the wine. Goodnight." She said with a quick smile and then gulped down the remaining content of her glass and headed for the door.
"Goodnight Lu," Tom called after her making her turn to look at him with a questioning expression.
"Lu?"
"Yeah. I'd like to call you that if you don't mind." Tom said with a harmless smile as he followed her to the door.
