Now, with Tommy not around, she felt unsure about being intimate but also didn't want to deliberately distance herself. She didn't know what distance to maintain, and it was a bit awkward.
Emma felt awkward, and so did Andrew. He wished he could be closer to her, but he didn't know what to say to express his feelings.
The two were silent as they went downstairs. The old man who had watched Andrew and Thomas playing together last time saw them again and commented naturally, "The young couple is going out again?"
"We're not..." Emma started to say but suddenly stopped. She didn't know how to refute others.
After all, she and Thomas had caused him too much trouble. People always saw them together, and even if she wanted to explain, no one would believe her. Instead, it would only embarrass Andrew.
It was already amusing enough that she, a single mother with a child, and another single man were always together, and there were no messy rumors going around.
