Christian's voice sounded from across the street and Avery saw him emerge from the alley by the restaurant. How had he gotten there?!
"Avery! There you are. I couldn't find you for a while because this crowd is nuts. I'll never understand why people like goggling at disasters. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" he fretted.
"No, I'm fine. You?"
"I'm fine too. I'm really sorry about this…I would completely understand if you wanted to go home and never see me again after this," he said miserably.
There was the Christian she knew. Why did he feel the need to apologize though? Was it for abandoning her in the bathroom? "It's not like this was your fault unless you personally invited Inferno here."
"Of course I didn't!"
"Then we're good. Want to get some ice cream or something? I'm still hungry because I didn't get to finish my food," Avery said.
