"There's a barbecue place here, unless you want to get something else?" Max turned his feet in the direction of where they'd gotten their equipment - no use in hanging on to it if they weren't going to play any more.
For a moment an unsettling feeling made his stomach twist, and he opened his mouth to apologize to Lucy for spoiling their nice afternoon. Then he closed it, his teeth moving together without sound. It was probably better that she found out now, rather than later - it would be so much worse if she wasn't prepared, and that made him wonder at his choice to keep Lily in the dark regarding all of this stuff.
"I think it'll be all right," he replied to her worry that he'd get caught. A smile moved over his face, completely sure of himself. Of course, he was anything but, though he'd still do his damnedest to find out more. The mystery niggling at the back of his mind was just too tempting to let slide by.
