"You were the one to ask him out to dinner?"
"My friend's all grown up," she cooed, adding, "Oh come on, you have got to tell me everything, and do not spare any details, regardless of how irrelevant they may seem."
Indiana seemed nervous to tell Madeline. Fear crept over her.
What if she slipped and admitted she had feelings for Xavier to Madeline? How would she react?
"And how did you come to meet in the first place?" Madeline asked.
She had never once heard Indiana mention this fellow. So, either she chose to hide him from her as well, or it was something that happened recently.
Indiana explained, "He came up to me and said a couple of nice things."
Madeline narrowed her eyes, her instincts kicking in. So he walked up to her, told her something, and she invited him to dinner?
Curiouser and curiouser.
"So what you're telling me is that you asked the first guy who went up to you out for dinner?" Madeline asked.
