Pretense 5

The knowing smile on Damien's face caught Katherine off guard. What was he smirking for? And why was his hand casually resting on her thigh like it was nothing?

Yes, it felt nice — but that's not the point!

She didn't know what he was playing at. He already knew she needed space and this wasn't 'space' at all. Her heart started racing and she looked up at him, raising a brow in question.

Thinking that he was going to remove his hand from her thigh, she waited… but all he did was lift a shoulder to shrug and subtly pointed at Nana with his eyes as if he was telling her to 'play along' with him. 

She didn't know why she had to because Nana already knew that they had broken up. So what was the point? However, she agreed anyway, "Y-yeah. We did." After all, they did get along well… too well.
