They walked another block down the street in perfect silence, all the while Jack still holding Anna’s hand.
“What does this mean?” Anna thought. “Why is he holding my hand? Is he just that friendly? Or does he consider this ‘flirting’? Oh look at me. I’m such a dunce. I over think everything..”
“Everything ok?” Jack looked at Anna with slight worry in his eyes.
“Hmm?” Anna asked still wrapped in her thoughts.
“What are you thinking about?” Jack rephrased & continued to study Anna’s face.
“Um..nothing.”
Jack looked skeptical. “Do you know how bad you are at lying?”
This snapped Anna out of her thoughts & she said “I’m not..lying.”
Jack laughed “Of course not.”
After a few more minutes of silence, Jack brought it back up. “So are you going to tell me what you’re thinking that’s making you make that face?”
“What face?”
“The one where you bite your bottom lip so hard you might bite it off, & your eyes go into this blank stare to the corner?”
Anna looked up at him surprised at how much noticed.
