He pays for the cocktails we had earlier and leaves quickly to see his sister. Stupid dude. He wasn't kidding when he predicted that she would rebel against her parents. Simply put, I hope she's ok.
I turn and give Robert a sincere smile. It was quite good of you to offer, so thank you.
He nods his head and grins. I interrupted him by punching his chest, "Now that your dates ditched you-" I look at him in astonishment as the sound of his laughter fills the room. His chuckle is just so lovely. I regret not hearing it more frequently.
He beams, "I'm kidding." However, the night has only just began, so why don't we leave?
What were you thinking? I ask with a smile.
He asks sincerely, "You hungry, sweetheart?"
I wailed, "Starved." "Since breakfast, I haven't eaten."
