You sit quietly, not sure what to say. The sound of his voice pulls you out of your head. “So… what are you thinking?” Theodore's voice is calm, but you can feel the weight of his curiosity.

He glances your way again, his eyes fixed on you like he’s waiting for something. “You know, it doesn’t have to be deep. Just anything.”

You hesitate. He shifts slightly, still watching you, “C’mon… You’re not gonna leave me hanging, are you?”

There's a slight smile at the corner of his lips. He’s relaxed, but his eyes—yeah, they're intense. You realize he’s not giving up that easily.
