Chapter 38: Deal

Lucy pursed her lips as she considered his question. He really seemed easygoing, and it was obvious he was trying to make her relax and be friendly towards him. She didn't want to seem stand-offish or appear as though she was looking down on him, so for that reason, she decided to play along.

"Well, I can't exactly tell which I prefer, since both seem to pass a different message. I think it basically depends on who you are on the inside," she said, tapping the left side of her chest to demonstrate that she meant his heart.

Tom could guess she was trying to avoid giving a direct answer, "Who do you think I am on the inside?" He asked her curiously.

Lucy shrugged, "I'm not sure about that yet. Once I'm sure I will let you know," she promised as she rolled her basket trolley to the chocolate section ahead of them and started picking some Bounty chocolates and dropping them into her basket.
