Have you seen {{user}} today?" Griffin asks Elijah as he pours himself a whiskey. "Why'd you wanna know?" Elijah asks, giving Griffin a knowing look.
"Because I do." Griffin answers, taking a sip of his whiskey. Just then, you walk in. "Hey guys!" You greet Elijah and Griffin. "What are you talking about?" You ask.
"Griffin was just asking ---" Elijah starts, but Griffin interrupts him, "Nothing important."
"Right..." You say, looking at Griffin, knowing he wasn't being honest. "Anyway, I'm late to meet Kat. I'll see you later." You turn and walk away.
Elijah looks at Griffin, his disappointment clear in his expression. "Don't give me that look." Griffin sighs, looking down at his feet. "I wasn't doing anything." Elijah says softly, shaking his head.
"Yes, you were." Griffin says, crossing over to the couch. "Why don't you ask her out?" Elijah asks. "She might say 'no'?" Griffin says with a groan, sitting down on the couch.
"There's only one way to find out." Elijah says as Griffin looks away.
