It's never been so difficult to talk in my life.

Lucas was just the same as I left him, the only difference was that he looked a lot more casual than he did when he worked for me.

My mind was blank, completely, and I was very sure that if I said anything, it most probably wouldn't make any sense. It was like I punched a baby right in the face and honestly, none of this was supposed to happen if I solved everything quicker.

"Nice shirt you have there" Right after that was immediate regret. "I mean, yeah, it's a really nice shirt.
