That tendency had gotten her into many a row with Noah.
A cough broke the silence. "Sure," she said offering a smile. It appeared that whatever she had said hadn't been that bad. He wasn't yelling at her, threatening to curse her hair to fall out, or storming off in a huff. "Go feed the squid?" she offered, not sure if he had a destination in mind.
The thing was this: Damien did have social skills. He just chose to use them incorrectly, or to not use them at all. He either pushed people away, or drew in the wrong crowd.
This girl was an exception.
This was different.
Her smile brought light back. "Maybe we can teach it a few tricks," he added, motioning for her to join him.
