Avery was still extremely embarrassed about this whole thing as she sat there with her continuously bleeding nose but Christian was a valiant companion and didn't let her sit there in an awkward silence and stew in it. He did his best to keep her distracted by talking about random things and, despite her mortification, she could appreciate the effort.
He was surprisingly funny too. She hadn't expected that from him since he seemed kind of dull the only other times they talked.
Even so, she had never been so relieved to see Angelo when he showed up. Worry was written all over his face when he saw how clammy and covered in blood she was despite her cleaned-up arm. If he had seen that, his reaction would have been much worse.
