Elizabeth stepped into the room, glancing in confusion from Tia and Conner. "Megan told me you were here." She focused on Conner's sweatpants, then glanced back up at his face. "Conner? What's going on?"
"What do you mean?" he asked, running a hand through his hair. "Tee and I were just hanging out."
Elizabeth glanced down at her black leather sandals and nodded. "Then why are you acting so weird?" she asked in a quiet voice.
Maybe because you couldn't have picked a worse moment to barge in here, Conner thought. But he just shrugged. "We weren't expecting you."
"Oh," Elizabeth said, still not sounding completely convinced. She stared at Conner. "I guess I just thought that we were going to hang out tonight."
Conner sighed. What was her deal? "We were. And then you said you had to work late. Remember?"
Elizabeth's cheeks flushed pink, and she shook her head. Finally her face relaxed. "God, I'm sorry," she told them. "I don't know what's wrong with me. Of course you guys were just hanging out."
"Right," Conner said. He could feel Tia's gaze on him. He had to get out of the intensity of this room. Now.
