Kasey laughed lightly and started walking in the direction she had said.

"So, Liam, how's work been?" she asked, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

Liam shrugged, “Same old. Although… Matt’s been acting strange. Ever since the building fire.”

"Really?" Kasey's eyebrows drew together. "Huh. I wonder what that's about…"

“Me too but I haven’t looked into it since I’ve been busy but…” He sighed and rubbed his face, “Anyway, it doesn’t matter.”

I wonder if it has something to do with the fire…

"Yeah… Anyway, what've you been doing besides work?" Kasey asked.

“Reading, researching interesting topics.” Liam said, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Oh, really? What kind of topics?" Kasey asked, curious about what he liked.

Liam shrugged, “History, medieval Europe, astronomy, music.”

"Medieval Europe? Really? That's, like, my favorite time period!" Kasey exclaimed. "And I didn't know you liked music."

“I uh..” He coughed, “W-Write my own music…” He muttered, becoming flustered at what he’d admitted.

Kasey's eyes widened. "You do? Could I, maybe, hear some of it?" she asked tentatively.

Liam’s cheeks became warm, “I-I mean, s-sure, yeah when I have my guitar.”

"Cool," Kasey said quietly, smiling. "I can't wait."

“I-I’m not the good, so don’t expect anything to fancy.” He said, rubbing his neck.

"I'm sure you're great," Kasey said, turning slightly to grin at him.

A field started to come into her vision more and more as they walked along. It was mixed with the purples and yellows and reds of wildflowers.

“I-I’m not but… th-thanks.” Liam coughed and tried to regain his confidence that had flown out the window at the topic. He was internally kicking himself for mentioning it, “I’m glad we went this way, it’s beautiful.”

Kasey nodded in agreement. "Yeah, so am I. It's really nice."

You're really nice…

Oh my gosh, what?

“And to think I was going to spend the rest of the day in my apartment, this is so much better.” Liam smiled gently.

Kasey laughed lightly. "Yeah, this is great. Hey, look at that field." She pointed out the field she had noticed earlier, on their left. "Think we could go see the flowers?"

Liam nodded, “Of course we can.” He thought for a moment before taking her hand in his and walking over to the flowers.

Kasey felt her cheeks heat up, but she grinned and laced their fingers together. She bent down to pick a flower, lifting it to her nose to smell it as she straightened again.

"Gosh, I love tulips," she murmured under her breath, more to herself than anything.

Liam smiled and picked up a daisy, gently placing it behind Kasey’s ear, “Beautiful…” He said quietly, “Not that you weren’t beautiful before and you still are beautiful with the flower, even more so I mean uh…” He blushed and rubbed at his face, “God I’m making it worse…”

"You think I'm beautiful?" Kasey whispered, turning to face Liam. A smile grew on her lips, blossoming like the flowers they stood beside.

“I um… y-yeah.” Liam blusher harder and looked at his feet out of embarrassment.

Kasey bit her lip. "Thank you," she said softly. "I, um… I think you're pretty great…"

Nonono! What are you doing?!? He'll find out about who you are!

So what…
