Emma watched Oliver play the guitar, completely absorted from her gaze or anything around. She, too, was completely absorted. A rush of self-conciousness fell on her and she checked her surroundings, only to discover that nobody had seen it. They were alone. The rush turned into embarrasment and she tried to hide it looking away, as if he'd noticed anything. Right at that moment, he turned to her with something on his mind, something she would never know because her expression made him forget everything about it.
"What is it?" he asked, worried.
Her eyes widened as the shock of being discovered by the worst possible person spread through her body. "N-Nothing, nevermind"
Oliver looked anything but convinced and she managed to smile with the hope of putting his mind at ease and this matter in the dustbin. Oliver resumed his playing as Emma took a secret deep breath trying to make her heart stop thumping so hard. She wondered whether she'd be able to control herself in front of other people. She clung to her secret as a hungry dog to its bone. Nobody would ever be able to tell what she was hiding behind the curtain of her eyes. And with that, she began to sing to Oliver's tune.
