Lene was perceptive and the fact that Lockhart took his time to answer made her aware that things hadn’t gone as he expected.
“Uhm, how rude, to have a successful date and then going into silence is very ungentlemanly like” But as she sensed the boy wouldn’t want to talk about this, she waved her hand along with the subject, no need to make a friend uneasy.
“Oh my you really shouldn’t have” She’d eyed the present despite Lockhart’s attempts to hide it but she’d been kind to pretend, and she was truthfully excited, nothing like a present to make her interested. As she opened it she became amazed of how well her friend knew her it was exactly of her taste.
“I adore love, I really do” This was the most tender Lene would ever get and with the simple gesture of putting her hand on Lockhart’s she made sure he’d understand her feelings.
