You overcome temptation and finally look her in the eyes, you immediately notice Maria is pouting, "Well Lucas, do you have anything to say?"
You lay there in silence, searching your mind for any idea of what she was talking about, but to the surprise of no one including yourself, you draw a blank.
"Were you even listening to what I was saying?!" Maria questions, obviously annoyed by your lack of awareness.
In a shallow effort to try and save yourself, you resort to lying, "Of course I was! I thought what you said was very interesting..."
Maria sits up and lowers her gaze, you feel like she's staring right through your weak lie, and right into your soul, "Then what was I just saying?"
The jig was up, you finally decide to just give up and tell the truth. You let out a long sigh, "Ok I'll admit it... I have no idea what you were talking about."
To your surprise though, Maria simply rolls her eyes and smiles. "Listen, I just want you to be happy Lucas, so make sure whatever you're doing, it actually makes you happy, and you're not doing it just because you think you should or you think you have to."
You chuckle a little, "I'm glad you care about me Maria, but I'm very capable of taking care of myself."
She rests her hand on your shin and smiles, "Ok Lucas, I trust you."
Staring at you for just a bit longer, Maria slowly places her hand back on the bed and looks up at the ceiling, "Umm, I think I'll go finish the dishes now."
Maria gets up from her spot on the bed and leaves the room. "That was kind weird", you think. It almost felt like she had more to say.
You eventually get dressed, although you ate your "breakfast" not that long ago, you still feel hungry.
