Danika was quite flustered by the whole situation. The impromptu lunch was one thing, but to discover it was slowly swelling into something of a party left her in a lurch. She wouldn’t mind, but she was worried that she was speaking too freely about government work while in public. Plus there was this awkwardness lingering between them. She’d seen little of Marcus since that night after the ball, and even now, when she glanced across the restaurant, she saw him as she had before, and it filled her with uncharacteristic shyness.
She tried to hide it by smoothing her bangs and a press of her lips into a tight smile. “Of course. Sure. I mean, if you want to.”
She busied herself with smoothing her napkin on her lap and wishing she’d fixed herself up a little better that day.
((No worries about Kaelan. I've got something for him to do.))
