Truthfully, he seemed kind of annoyed with Blakely. That was the one thing I noticed when they were together. She was so obvious about trying to get his attention. This morning she even stopped to tie her shoe in front of him, making this big dramatic production of bending over to do it. I’d caught his face as he tried to quickly move around her, and he looked so uncomfortable. The same way he looked uncomfortable whenever she volunteered. And she volunteered to help him with everything. She was the first person raising her hand for things, no matter what.
