Walking through the room, he sees Avalyn still sitting where he had left her looking worried. Walking over he smiles at her, her eyes glancing behind him to Mr. Cortez.
"Let's get home Avalyn." Ian walks out, his eyes on her as they walk to his car. "You need to drive. I realised turning down his drinks wouldn't have helped." Avalyn nods, sitting she begins driving home, Ian is too quiet, he can't avoid telling her, there is no way he can't tell her. Yet telling her just seems cruel right now.
"We need to talk Avalyn." She nods, smiling slightly.
"I know Ian, the incident tonight was a mistake and won't happen again. Don't worry about it." Ian nods, agreeing, his head shaking again.
