Tell her the truth.

Madison was so fun to talk to and most of the time, I just watched the both of them fight over unnecessary things.

It was getting late and Madison had to return home. "If I don't leave now, I might have to spend the night at your apartment..."

She had barely finished her statement when Gerard shut her an angry stare that clearly stated, 'Don't even think about it.'

I smiled. "You should walk her while I pack up," I said to Gerard. I knew that they might have other things to discuss probably work-related and didn't feel comfortable saying it in my presence. After all, she came here for Gerard and probably had a reason for coming other than just coming to say hello.

He nodded and she gave me a hug before leaving which was unexpected.

"I like her..."

"I didn't ask for your opinion."

I could hear her talking to Gerard before I packed the cups back to the kitchen for washing.
