Maxen and Cosette walked slowly down the street, going to the bus stop. The two of them had been silent since leaving Luke's apartment. Both their eyes were on the ground, treading carefully, allowing their minds to drift regarding the same thing.
Luke.
"About Luke —"
They halted in their steps as they spoke at the same time. Cosette chuckled as she faced him squarely.
"What about him?" she asked, intrigued at what he wanted to say regarding Luke.
"It's not important. What about you? What about him?" he returned, raising his brows, all ears to what she was about to say.
"Uhh… nothing." Cosette shook her head mildly. "It's nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Mhm. What about you? Are you sure?"
"Mhm."
"Alright." Cosette studied Maxen for a few seconds and the two of them resumed their steps.
