Watching him carefully, the fact that there was no reaction on his face only made Vee's worry deepen. Had she messed things up worse than she'd thought? Was there really no way that he wasn't going to forgive her? The hurt and worry, and yeah a little bit of fear, showed clearly in her eyes as she looked at him. The silence was so tense, Vee started to bite her lip nervously, then decided she should try and appeal to him again. Things with Jeremy had always been easy, always been natural and fun and just good. Even when they fought and pretended like they could stay away from each other. She could fix this.

Before she could open her mouth, though, Jeremy moved their hands and smiled a little. It wasn't his usual smile, she saw it now, but it was something. Obvious relief moved over her face as she looked up at him. "I am starving," she confirmed with a nod. "Although I was kind of hoping to stay here? A little time together would be nice, right?"
