Lyla definitely didn't take offense at all. She'd missed their banter, quite a lot, actually and it was nice to just tease and be teased like this.
She definitely didn't miss that look in his eyes, the one that betrayed a somewhat different kind of hungry and a part of her was returning it. She tried really hard to fight it, but, well, being attracted to Matt had never been a problem. Or, it had been the entire problem, depending on how you looked at it.
She didn't quite realize she was holding her breath until he reached for her hand and started pulling her away from the truck. She let out the breath then, grateful that he'd not tested her willpower just now, foolish enough to think the moment has passed and the rest of the evening would pass innocently. Right now, she was just focused on relief that they hadn't ended up making out right against the truck.
Yep, see? This just friends thing with Matt? Was totally doable. Look what a good job she was doing with it!
