Rosemary's pov:
The silence in the car was deafening. Well, that was until Richard decided to break it in the most Richard of ways, of course.
"So, you two, huh?" he never took his gaze off the road while speaking.
My own eyes gradually and in the slowest of motions travel his way, "Us?"
"Yeah, so…," he cleared his throat, "So, are you like, close now?"
In response, I inhaled deeply before exhaling quite loudly as I turned my attention back onto the road ahead.
"What? It's been what, now? Like two days since I've last seen you, and you're exploring tunnels together and whatnot, so that's definitely a surprise,"
Surprised?! The monotone cadence his voice adopts could've fooled me then.
"Didn't we have a similar talk about this just yesterday though?" I make a point of reminding him that certainly did have this talk since he'd insisted on being the one to take me home after our escapade in the museum only yesterday.
