Talking to Byron

"Wha … wha … what are you … going to do to me?" Byron asked fearfully.

Zero grabbed the back of Byron's neck while simultaneously letting go of the arm. Pulling Byron off the table, he literally had Byron in his hands as his fingers pressed upon the side of Byron's neck.

"Why are you here?" Lianne asked, her face not showing any emotions.

Right now, the expression on Lianne's face and Zero's face was identical - making those who were still watching the 'show' feel like they were the perfect couple.

"I - I was just passing by," Byron mumbled, "And I saw you inside. So I wanted to say hi."

"Just. Passing. By?" Lianne scoffed, "Alone?"

Zero pressed harder on Byron's neck when he hesitated in answering, "Yes."

Lianne frowned.

"What about your parents?" she asked, not believing for a second that he was here alone.

Byron shrugged instinctively, then found that he couldn't do it so he said, "Work."
