Part 8. We’ve come so far
The idea of keeping a distance is what was wrong there
That would be Leo’s first thought
Doesn’t get more straightforward than that.
Addie…
Even she has to know that awkward silences are impossible unless she’s trying to cause awkward silences.
Plus, if that’s the plan, she should’ve just said no to the date in the first place.
See, even Leo already knows that Addie and not talking do not mix
Addie, you know Leo better than to think he’s dumb enough to fall for that
It’d be less complicated than going to a movie and not talking, only for Leo to refuse sex after because it didn’t count as a date since they didn’t actually get to talk
Can’t make excuses against that one
Finally accepting a date with the man she loves and is supposed to be with
Follow those emotions Addie. Those real emotions are going to lead to where you’re supposed to be, with Leo.
As if he won’t notice fake behavior a mile away
If the date is that terrible, he’d lose interest before he would’ve had sex with her. Sex wouldn’t happen if it was that terrible.
And so it begins.
Leo doesn’t typically accept less than perfection
He’s following through with the plan. It’s a date, which means talking and getting to know each other.
Addie’s the one refusing to follow her end of the deal
If she didn’t want to even try and have a real date, she should’ve just refused the deal instead of wasting time
Without a real date, he’s not sleeping with her.
Addie can’t avoid being herself for long when it comes to Leo
She must love the chance to trick him at darts for the first time again
Yes Addie, that was hustling.
She’s freakishly good at darts. Everthing else can’t be compared to darts fairly.
Really he’d do his best to win her every prize at the carnival if she wants it.
She can’t hide it from herself
It’s been a bit of a rare sight fo him to see
He had to give her one final chance to back out before itd be practically impossible for him to stop himself
As it should be
Addie
She’s really trying to make it seem like it
There’s no option involving leaving that wouldn’t make him feel worse.
She should know enough to know what kind of effect it would have on him…
He doesn’t want to be the one being protected
After all that, it would be hard to know which way to react
Finally
