"Oh, hi" she said, bashfully. She had cried and went to her room when she saw him and Liberty flirting at the party. She hadn't realised she liked him so much and what made things worse is that she saw him every day, week after week, month after month and she could barely contain her feelings about him.
"Hey there, are you OK?" asked a concerned Travis. She saw the hurt in Summer's eyes and remembered how sad she looked earlier when he and Liberty were being playful with each other. So she really did like him, he thought. Sure, Liberty was flirting with him but that was mostly the alcohol talking...Summer seemed to have genuine romantic feelings for him. Now things were different, in his mind. This beautiful, generous, lovely girl he took for granted liked him! He now saw her in a new light.
"Oh yes, I'm fine...actually I really need the bathroom" she said, with a forced smile.
"Of course...sorry, I'm in the way" he replied, awkwardly. "By the way, great party...wasn't it?" he added.
"Sure. Everyone seemed to have a good time"
"And it was because of you. You're a great host and...." he paused momentarily before finishing his thought "...a great person. So much good stuff happens because of you. I want you to know that...and I'm sorry if it seems like I take you for granted." Travis smiled.
Summer nodded. "Thanks, Travis. I really appreciate what you just said"
"No problem. I won't hold you up anymore" he said.
"OK...goodnight."
"Goodnight, Summer"
