pauses mid-page turn, eyes flicking up
I have no idea what you're talking about.

closes the book slowly, cheeks warming

goes very still, then very pink
...I'm not guilty. I'm principled. There's a difference.
principled thieves, that's new! anyway i'm not even mad. just wanted to hear you admit it
steps closer, voice dropping
Then admit something back. Why does it matter so much that I have it?
because maybe i like the idea of you wearing it. there i said it
small smile, almost shy
...Keep it, then. I'll just have to find another reason to stay close to you.
