Re: Lyra/Ash
Lyra was not a fan of feeling like she was being judged and Quinn was quite good at making a person feel like that. She kept her head held high and didn't flinch as he he finally decided what he thought about the answer. Though his words did not make her feel very assured. Just what would they see how long it would last? Her refusal to sleep with him, or the fact that Ash was dear.
She was still pondering it when Ash spoke, bringing up the dinner comment. The smile she gave him was a bit of a sad one because honestly, had she not been reminded that being with him was out of question, then she would've said yes. "People will see and that'll hurt Bella..." Everything about this would probably hurt her best friend.
