After sitting there for a full fifteen seconds with a stupefied look on his face, he finally answered.
"Uh… I wasn't."
Not exactly the smoothest reply ever, but she could see that it was the truth and felt a flash of annoyance at her own paranoia. Still, it was hard for her not to be jealous of Lewis's old flame for whom he still carried a torch, when she herself had only managed to claim a small corner of his heart.
