he dismissed her analysis of him, assuming it was either a guess by way of his ‘infamous’ stories or she was a friend of a friend.

her smirk broadens, giving a light shrug. "you have your gifts and i have mine." it always amused her how impressed others were when she'd read them as if they were simply a book in her hand.

"oh, you actually make it to third dates?" the blonde teased.

he nodded, seemingly understanding the boy in front of him.

“i can do that! it won’t be an easy feat— but you seem like an intelligent boy.”

“maybe… maybe not catch.” he chuckles, clearly missing the joke..
