“Talk to me, please? What’s bothering you? You can tell me, and ask me, anything.” Valerie watched his face, saw the frown and chewed the inside of her lip. Relationships weren’t something she formed with people. Seperate had been the implied life once she’d been let loose on the world. It had stuck. “I’ll never lie to you Brian. My life might be complicated but I don’t want our relationship to be.”
Lips quirked into a smile at the apology and she shrugged lightly, “Me too. And I like Maddy, she seems like a lot of fun to be around.” Though she paused to catch his chin with her finger tips to make sure their eyes met before she continued softly, “You are not an idiot.”
Valerie brushed a few strands of hair off her cheek and took in a slow breath. There was no reason to let some random awkwardness ruin the rest of the night, granted she wasn’t the type to dwell on things like that anyway. “So can I join you guys before you take the stage and have to endure me dancing my support?” She eyed him curiously and leaned in with a slight grin. “What do you do back here anyway, pre-show rituals?”
