His smile grew and he bowed his head for a moment, catching that look she had. He wasn't oblivious to that look. He'd seen it plenty of times before from the women in his following during High School and college. But for this girl to give him that look actually... meant something. It made him feel happy and almost, possibly, shy.
"Just to perk her up, she's been having a rough couple of weeks," James replied smoothly. Almost shy. Definitely not all the way. "I don't typically do stuff like this so I think it'll surprise her. Hopefully make her happy."
He gave a nod and rubbed his lips together, looking around awkwardly as he tried to think of what else could be said. "So, you sure you can help me? You seemed a little unsure." He smiled again, trying to imply that he was only joking and wasn't in any way mad at her despite the earlier annoyance in his voice.
