"where have you been?"

lola's head snapped up in surprise to see dominic - her mind was still sluggish, she hadn't even seen him come in.

lola laughed before coughing into her elbow. and there it was, that concerned look again, appearing on his face.

"where's your girlfriend today?"

"broke up," he answered nonchalantly, and she fought back her smile.
