As they walked around the park and talked about all sorts of random things, Christian noticed that Avery seemed rather happy. She laughed a lot—did she think he was funny?—and radiated a general air of contentment and relaxation.
He was glad she was enjoying herself because he was too but, at the same time, he was very, very confused. Had she suddenly decided she liked him because of one terrible, thwarted date?
She wasn't like this before. She hadn't been rude or seemed overtly disinterested or anything but the vibe was different somehow.
Christian was certain she hadn't been interested before he asked her out considering how surprised she seemed. Her reaction made him think she agreed on a whim rather than because she had any real desire to go out with him. Yet now she was acting extremely interested and he wasn't sure why.
Not that he was complaining! Interested was great!
