STUCK IN BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS
Justin stammered, rubbing the back of his neck, cheeks flushed.
“It’s… it’s okay,” Ivy replied, her own cheeks burning as she tried to suppress a nervous laugh. The air between them felt charged again, but this time in a way that neither of them quite knew how to handle.
"Okay... that was quite awkward," Justin said, scratching the back of his neck, a nervous chuckle escaping.
“Yeah…” Ivy nodded, still laughing nervously, her eyes darting to the door. “okay, bye!” she blurted, practically darting out of the room before he could say another word.
