She did miss him, likely more than she had any real right to, but that still didn't change the fact of the matter really now did it? She smiled though when he admitted he missed her too, it was at least somewhat reassuring that maybe she wasn't way off on what was going on between them. And when he said seeing her was his first thought upon waking up that morning? Well that totally made Annabelle's day. "Pretty safe to say we shared a particular thought pattern this morning." she smiled. "I was admittedly bummed when you couldn't make it this morning, but I'm much better now..."
That feel good feeling quickly slipped away at his apparent stunned reaction, that big goofy grin that had played on her face faded and was replaced by that look that had been previously reserved for her grandmother Maddy after she'd touched Oliver's piano and needed to be reminded it didn't belong to her. "I... didn't name names or give specifics..." Now it was she that had a hard time giving him eye contact. "I... guess I got ahead of myself, they asked me a question and I answered it based on my own assumptions..." He never had actually her out had he? Apparently old Mr. Webster's definition of a boyfriend wasn't something that applied in the real world. Awkward moment was awkward.
