In fact, it wasn't just Matt who hadn't noticed. Even Will Jones hadn't noticed. Alice disappeared from where they were without giving him a response to his proposal, which was a more than obvious response.
She was basically showing him that she didn't care about his proposal with this.
Matt looked at her doubtfully, and that's when Alice returned to her senses.
'Huh?' She gently let go of Matt, unable to comprehend how she had gotten here, and all the pressure Janna Patel felt suddenly disappeared.
'I moved unconsciously...' She thought. She immediately planned to apologize, as it was not what she wanted to do. She even tilted her face a little to apologize sincerely to Matt.
But before she could finish, Matt intertwined his hand with hers, brought her towards him, and smiled at Janna Patel.
"I'm sorry, Miss Patel. I already have a date for tonight. I won't refuse to toast with you on the night if we are lucky enough to meet."
