"Wait you live in different houses?" Tina thought aloud. Both Raymond and Lerisa turned sideways to face her and at that moment she realized she said it out loud. Before she could apologize, Lerisa spoke.
"No. We live in the same house, although I have my own house...I go to sometimes." She forced a smiled as she looked at Tina sternly and uncomfortably.
"ohh" Tina released trying to hide her disappointment. She still had a slight hope that their engagement was a rumour, since there was no ring on her finger, coupled with the fact that she didn't see it on any of Raymond social handles. So when she heard Lerisa saying something came up at her home, it raised her assumption of them not engaged to a high level but now, sadly, Lerisa reply has diminished all assumptions.
