Re: Brooke Maddox & Ned Leeds
Ned had been right - she was way more confident than he was and that was super intimidating. He found himself automatically looking for Peter in the room, but didn't want to crane his head or be too obvious, so he forced his eyes to go back to Brooke's quickly. He should probably focus on his date anyway, right? Otherwise it'd be rude.
"I'm Ned." He held out his hand to be polite to her. "This is my first time at one of these two." He paused. He had already said that, hadn't he? He looked a little sheepish. "I mean because I'm new here too, to Madison Valley. I've been here for like, a week?"
He paused. She probably didn't care about that. "So, uh..." Another pause. "how are you doing?" The expression on his face probably told everyone he had just asked the lamest question ever.
