Chapter 53

"You seem lost in your thoughts....what're you thinking?" she muttered softly.
Mikey blinked, as if pulled out of a deep trance, his thoughts swirling for a moment before he found his focus. His gaze flicked back to her, a hint of surprise in his eyes, momentarily lost in the soft warmth of her presence.
"Oh—uh." He stuttered.
"I was just thinking of..."
As his words spilled out, his mind raced uncontrollably, each thought tumbling over the other in a chaotic blur.
'Say something cool, man. Just ease the mood. Compliment her or something. Let her loosen up.'
And then it hit him, the perfect response—
"...well...how beautiful you looked tonight in that exquisite dress."
