Adrian frowned at the laugh, then watched her with rising curiosity as she obviously struggled with what she had to say.
When she was done talking Ade sat and stared at her, wide-eyed, mouth open while thoughts raced inside his mind. Feeling slightly dizzy he covered his eyes with his hand, forcing them shut, then took a couple of deep breaths before looking at her again.
"You're lying. You're trying to get out of..." As he was looking at her he could see the difference. There was no blush revealing a lie, there was plain relief written all over her face.
