Cassie is still crying when Rob leans down and brushes his lips against hers. The kiss only lasts a few seconds, then she jumps back, shocked. They look at each other and for a moment it could go either way.
Rob breaks the tension by laughing. "Sorry. Something about crying girls. Force of habit. Sorry."
She laughs too, feeling a mixture of relief and disappointment. "Was that meant to cheer me up?"
"Worth a shot." He pats her briefly on the shoulder. "Come on, let's get you home."
"No funny business in the car, alright?" She follows him.
"I promise."
