"Ah, really?" He asked, face screwed up in thought. "I did not notice back then; you are very good at keeping such things secretive."
Truth be told, he, himself had simply taken a chance at her emotions; one that paid off in the long run. In his experience, showing interest in a friend who didn't return the favor tended to alienate them in some form or another. While being turned down never seemed to bother him, it was annoyingly exhaustive dealing with all the pity they tended to shoot his way as a result.
He was thankful things didn't turn out that way, if only for the combination of pity and sympathetic apologies from her, Ronnae and Billy would have been overly troublesome. That, and being turned down really, really sucked.
"You should have just taken a chance," he finally said, a mischievous grin now spanning from ear to ear. "I would not have thought less of you for it."
