Amber was having trouble reigning in her thoughts, which produced a rather unfortunate slack-jawed look on her face as all of it processed. Well, she heard somewhere in her head. This day was full of fucking surprises, wasn't it?
"Wow..." It finally all broke free, and with it a weird sense of relief that she couldn't have hidden from him if she tried. All that guilt she'd been holding onto - well, most of it - evaporated. She was even showing teeth in her smile. "That's--that's great. I'm really glad to hear that... you know," Amber's rapid-fire way of speaking slid back into place as her social anxiety faded. "I've been doing a lot of thinking about her lately... Do you think... Maybe..."
Tiny bit of awkwardness returned. For a brief, shining moment, she forgot who she was talking to, and the fact that she'd slept with him (or so she believed). Amber winced.
"Could you let her know that?" At least then the ball would be in Mel's court, right?
