Alicia wasn't sure if it was a good idea of not to spill her guts to Mr. Heartly but he did come to check up on her, even if he tried to play tough guy. She appreciated the effort.
She waited for his response and it seemed to take forever to come.
She opened her mouth to say she didn't want to go for a walk but he didn't seem like he was asking. Plus, the logical side of her knew she could do with some fresh air.
She nodded and grabbed her coat and followed along.
