Julien wondered why Alfie was suddenly blushing harder than he did when faced with a social situation that didn't involve library books but he was too polite to say anything.
He smiled though. "Sounds about like mine. It doesn't really matter though, as long as you had a good time doing nothing." And that came out all wrong too. "I mean, it's nice to relax sometimes. Not that I was relaxing all the time. Not that it's bad if you did." He stopped himself with a hand under his chin, propped up on his knee but less for comfort and more to stop his stupid mouth from opening again.
