Raleigh:
We stepped cautiously onto the drying grass in our sandals and began to make our way to the concrete pavilion that served as a stage. Lucien and Conner both had their backs turned to us, reading some yellow paper. I turned to Cindy, and with a devilish nod, we both snuck up behind Lucien and Conner.
"Boo!" We yelled. Conner jumped comically while Lucien only turned with a raised eyebrow, smiling fondly as I cracked up.
"You know I could hear you, right?" He asked.
I was too busy laughing at Conner's reaction to answer, who held his chest.
"Dude you heard them? I didn't hear shit!" He exclaimed.
Lucien rolled his eyes and took my hand, pulling me closer. His eyes trailed over my clothes and my face, especially my face.
"You look ravishing, Raleigh." He said after a couple of moments, breathless.
I took a shaky breath and did a one-over on him. He wore a grey button-up shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned and a pair of jeans.
