Chapter 83

Roxanne completely froze up after his question and Lance quickly realized that it was foolish of him to have asked such a question. "That...that was inconsiderate of me." He quickly said. "You do t have to come with me..." "No," Roxanne interrupted him. "I'll come." She said with a sweet smile on her face. Lance could see that she had not completely recovered from the sudden shock and was just trying to look strong in front of him. He admire her efforts, but really wished that she wouldn't force herself so much. Although he could not being himself to say this out loud, Lance simply sighed and went back to eating his meal quiet. This time around, despite how sweet the food Roxanne had prepared was, he found that his appetite has dwindled thanks to the brooding guilt that was somehow clawing at his throat. After they finished eating, Roxanne busied herself in cleaning up the plates. Lance on the other hand, looked down at the unfinished work that he had brought with him from his office.
