Lucas was looking at Fay in the same way, but quickly looked away when Fay looked over at him. She caught him out of the corner of her eye though. She saw the hurt in his eyes, why was he so in denial? She thought. “What’s wrong?” Fay asked. “I- never mind.” he said, lowering her down, “You OK sitting here?” he asked. “I- ya, sure, I guess.” she looked hopefully at him, only to have him turn away. “I can’t do it,” he said to himself when he got out of earshot of the rest.
