[Watching him watch her was fascinating, because when he just stopped to look at her, examine her, evaluate her or whatever it was; for that moment she wasn't able to read him. Perhaps because it was meant to be her reflected in his eyes. She couldn't see from his expressions or his movements as he made none. Just looking at her before he put his lollypop back into his mouth and resumed as normal

Just close enough that their legs touched just a little and that their arms were likely to bump into one another.]
