Cillian and Lucy were walking next to each other, keeping just the right amount of space between them. Neither of them said a word.
Lucy started to feel a little awkward as she walked by his side. She thought to herself, 'Oh no, Cillian and I are just people who know each other. At best, we're just former classmates. Why did I even come here to see him?' she wondered.
The silence was getting so awkward that Lucy wished she could just disappear.
Just then, Cillian looked at her with a warm smile and asked, "Did you come to see me today to have some fun? I can show you around."
Lucy was relieved and replied quickly, "It's been ages since I've been back to the campus. I don't even know what it looks like around the university anymore. Could you give me a tour?"
Cillian smiled politely and said, "Sure, I'll give you a great tour.
"There's a really cool amusement park that opened up near the university. The haunted house there is supposed to be amazing," he added casually.
Cillian knew Lucy well enough from their first year to know she loved haunted houses. He was right. Lucy's eyes sparkled at the mention of it, and she forgot all about feeling awkward. She grabbed Cillian's arm excitedly.
"Where is it? Show me! I haven't been to a haunted house in forever!"
Cillian looked down at Lucy's gentle hand on his arm, feeling something stir inside him. However, he took a deep breath and pushed the feeling away.
