Kapitel 85: Chapter 85: Eight ball III

(Third POV)

Steven frowned in distaste. Then, he grabbed the cue stick with a bridge head from the rack. 

"If you can't balance the cue stick with your hand, you should use this." Steven told Michelle in an even voice.

Andy and Lara looked at Steven in surprise. Thinking that he was warming up to Michelle. Their lips tilted up. Steven rarely initiates conversation with other people save for really close friends. 

Michelle received the stick with a grateful smile and thanked Steven. She did not place any special meaning behind his action. 

Steven nodded his head and moved to stand next to Lara.

Michelle took her turn followed by Lara.

While they were at it, Steven tried to reflect on himself. Again, he was baffled by his own initiative and the effect that Michelle has on him.
