Promises

by Mysterous951

As five years flew by, Evie realized her wedding was a bit hasty. Henry and Evie mutually separated and she returned to London, hoping to patch things up with her dear young brother, but she did not receive a warm welcome. As the days pass after her return, she built up courage to build their relationship back together. During the process, she finds out the reasons of his coldness.

21. Awkward

Shaun and Rebecca cleared their throats, fanning themselves with the collar of their shirts, looking away from each other. Awkwardness filled the air once finding out more of the past. Neither knew how to react let alone respond what they just witnessed. They both knew it was all in the past, and yet it made them question on what happened further. Curiosity continuously grew, but they knew they had to save it for another time seeing as to how they still had to focus on their main objective.

"Um... well, seeing... seeing as to how we have what is needed... let's..." Shaun hit his chest gently, clearing his throat, "Let's move onward, alright?" He laughed awkwardly at Rebecca.

"Y-Yeah... Definitely!" Her voice cracked which made her clear her throat instantly, "Let's focus on... on our main objective!" She rushed passed him, having difficulty to make eye contact with him.

The two did not know how to take what was seen. Should they feel disgusted? Should they feel concerned? How should they feel to what they saw? All they could feel as the time went onward was nothing, but awkwardness. They continuously felt uneasy as their mind boggled with questions. The two were left with questions they felt did not have full on answers. A part of them wanted to go further down the line, but they felt it would just get more awkward.

"Well, I guess that's what it means when curiosity killed the cat." Shaun laughed awkwardly, now feeling stupid.

"Let's... let's just not speak of this again, okay? We have enough info we need. We don't need to go any further." Rebecca looked over, trying to keep her mind cleared from what was shown to them.

"R-Right... just between you and I." Shaun nodded his head quickly, trying and hoping to erase the past from his mind, "Never speak of this again... EVER!"

The two nodded with agreement, trying to erase the past from their mind and trying to clear the air to rid the dreadful awkwardness they suffered through with half of the day.

Writer's Note: Alright, I don't fully know this franchise let alone all the characters, but for my slight amusement, I wanted to write this. Awkwardness can be quite amusing. That's only if you're not involved in it that is... Lol Well, until then readers...
