Micah shoved another bite of cake into his mouth, his cheeks puffed slightly as he chewed, clearly savouring the sweetness, thinking Willow had not caught on about Darcy being related to her, or about him staying with Clyde. "Nothing much," he mumbled around a mouthful of cake.
"Really? No girlfriend? Or crush?" Willow asked with a teasing tone.
Micah shook his head, eyes focused on his cake, trying hard not to blush.
Willow leaned back in her chair, finding Micah's blush adorable. "Is it about that forum post? Still no luck, huh?"
Micah swallowed in the wrong way, going into a coughing fit. He thumped his chest with his fist, eyes watering. "Ah, should you bring that up?"
