he blinked, then gave him a small, almost embarrassed smile. “no, i didn’t mean that.”
he glanced away for a second, rubbing the back of his neck again. “you don’t have to change anything. i actually… kinda like it.”
a quiet laugh slipped out before he looked back at bob.
He shakes his head no.
“No can do, I ain’t letting this go. Don’t think I will.”

Rises a brow at that, and shakes his head.

“That’s good hear that business is going well for you.”
Happy there’s something going on. Better than nothing, but he wouldn’t let that happen if he could.
“Yes, well.. you should believe. You’re charming as ever.”
He was telling the truth to them.
he let out a quiet laugh, looking a little caught off guard by that. “business is doing fine, yeah.” a small grin tugged at his mouth.
“charming, though? careful, bob. keep talking like that and i might actually start believing you.”
