A frown creased Max's forehead as he studied me silently for a moment longer before nodding curtly and turning away abruptly. "Okay. Good to know."

Everyone turned to stare curiously after him when he stalked angrily out of the pavilion. I didn't blame them for wanting to know why he left the room and immediately headed outside. I was equally curious about the reason for his behavior, especially given the fact that he was usually quite polite and friendly to me whenever we ran into each other in public places, and it was obvious to everyone he was attracted to me, despite the fact we had never spoken much beyond hello or goodbye until today. But it wasn't my place to pry into the personal lives of the residents of our town; therefore, I decided to leave it alone.
