It was hard, to not notice the look in her eyes as she turned to face him. He couldn’t describe it, but there was definitely something on her mind. He could only imagine what it was, since she probably had more than enough to be thinking about. What was obvious was that she wanted to act like everything was fine, even though both of them were in a bit of an awkward situation. “It wasn’t nearly as easy as you imagine…especially in this crowd.” He looked around, to make his point. There were people everywhere. The compliment she gave him caused him to chuckle a bit, raising a hand to rub at the back of his neck. “Ah, she flatters.” The corner of his mouth twitched up into another smirk, trying not to act as nervous as he was. Cecilia was, undoubtedly, a beautiful girl…but he didn’t know a thing about her, and their parents weren’t throwing them at each other just so they could form a friendship.
The bartender returned after filling Donovan’s drink order, and he gave the man a nod of his head and a verbal ‘thanks’ this time, watching him place the champagne flutes down on the bar. He cleared his throat quietly, and reached forward to grab one of them, taking a sip of the golden drink. He was suddenly wishing he had started drinking earlier in the night, so he wasn’t so on edge. “So…are you here for Gabriel, or Rachel?” It was at least something to talk about.
