#Chapter51
My eyes wander forward to see Theodore walking towards the house. He's dressed nice, and my mind shifts back to the gathering. /"I'll see you in a bit, alright?/" James says, sending me off.
/"Okay./"
I glance back at the house, back at James as he stands at the door, watching us walk away. I follow Theodore to wherever the gathering is, and he doesn't say a word to me. Needing to be in a good mood for this, I try and lift the awkward silence. /"At least I'm going with the plans this time./"
I wait for his agreement, but he continues on.
/"Hey, I'm sorry about what happened with Claire. I shouldn't have crossed that boundary./"
Theodore peers back, not showing much emotion. /"Well she's going to be at the gathering, so let's try and keep a distance this time./"
