What does he want? Finally, some recognition. Pete smiled to himself.
For a moment, he was curious to see how far she'd go feigning this ignorance. That would have been interesting to see. And now, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"I don't want anything, Cherie. I just wanted to say hi to an acquaintance." An unforgettable one, if he must add.
Her brows furrowed at him in a thorough inspection of his words, so much her eyes seemed threatening. He just wanted to say hi.
"Hi." She said in a terse note, and while she expected him to be on his heels trotting in the other direction, he smiled and held out a hand.
"Hello, Lina."
Lina slightly stiffened at the call of her name. He remembered?
She lowered her eyes to his hand awaiting hers. And while she could ignore him and walk away as this could be troublesome, she stretched out her hand and received his. She wasn't rude, and she could be mature about things.
A wide smile broke out on his face as they shook hands.
