Re: Hasty Exit - Tim & Cassandra
By the time they were outside Tim was feeling like a complete ass for his little deception, but he could hardly explain what they were really going to do in front of all those people. Captivated as they had been by Cassie, there would have been no avoiding at least some of them eavesdropping. As it was he was keeping an eye in the back of his head to make sure that that big guy or someone else wasn't following behind to ask for a final demonstration.
Only when they were at the Redbird did Tim feel safe enough to reveal the awful truth of this, even as his mind was preoccupied with what he would have rather done with Cassie within the confines of his vehicle.
"Big K is in danger again, and we've got to swoop in to to the rescue", he said as he opened Cassie's door for her. They had to hurry, but he remained a gentleman. He did not know how she would take the revelation, outside of imagining she would be frustrated like he was, so he was quick to apologize.
"I'm sorry I had to deceive you back there. I needed a quick way to get you out of there that no one would question. I hope you understand. I'd... much rather be doing something else."
