Stone half laughed and half grunted, "Maybe I will go get Brennan and come give you a visit."

I fell for his threat and harshly hissed "Don't you dare, Lurch."

Before he could say anything, Lana called again "What is taking you so long? I know you take a while to get changed but this long? Really?"

Giving him a last glance, I opened the door and left him in my room.

Lana had her arms crossed when I reached her at the front door. She looked behind me "Who were you talking to? I thought I heard voices."

"Singing." I blurted out "I was singing."

"I thought I heard a deep voice." Lana raised her light brow.

"I was practising my Darth Vader impression." I lied

She did not look convinced, but she did not say anything other than "Okay. Let's go."

We took my car to drive to her house. My lateness was quickly forgiven as Lana told me all about her outing with Brennan. She also mentioned the new music she had been working on.

I wanted to tell her about Stone and my encounters with him, but I did not want to load more problems onto her. Not when she was facing difficulties in her relationship.

When we arrived at her house, we rushed inside and got our binge-worthy banquet ready before putting on a Barbie DVD.

"So, Brennan and I talk fine when it is all four of us together. We always have something to talk about when we are with other people. Like we talk about you and Stone and school in general. However, when we are alone, it is so different. When it is just us, sometimes we sit in silence." Lana explained as she stuffed a handful of gummy bears in her mouth.

I was sitting crossed leg on her living room sofa as I tried to steal one from the bag, she was trying to keep to herself as I replied, "Is it a comfortable silence?"

"I don't know." She admitted.

We had been talking about Brennan and her for about an hour. I knew something was wrong when she didn't hum along to the intro music to the animated Barbie movie. I did not sing to it either because I was still trying to convince her that I hated it when secretly I liked the movies.

I was also pondering over my thoughts about my overnight visitor. I was trying to focus on the whimsical fairyland and bright pink dresses but found myself thinking about the giant. I wondered if he had snooped around the place after I left or if he left as soon as I did.

Lana rearranged herself restlessly on the sofa like she had been for the past hour as she let out a huff "Do you think he is bored of me?"
