She thought about his question-really thought about it. She did her best to glance back at the man in question subtly before she turned her attention back to Johnny. She didn't know how to answer that. While she was talking to him, she was almost blinded by his charm. Everything seemed perfectly normal and okay. It was only once she walked away that things started to feel a little bit off.
