He coughed and got his breath back and then after a moment of silence, hidden behind his shades still, he managed an answer.
"....no."
And if any more was said about the marriage.... thing, by anyone? Well, Truebridge himself would be disappearing up there right away.
Marriage.
He was going to have a panic attack. Surely, surely Annie had no such expectations? Surely? She'd never said so at least...
It all happened sooo fast and now Ethan was about to have a severe panic attack in front of the entire school.
"Way to go, Hecate - you said the 'M' word!" Max exclaimed and he leaned back in his temporary seat.
