Song: I Want You to Want Me

"If you're not doing anything later – and I totally understand if you are and it's really—"
"Do you want to go get some tea with me?" Sciezka asked obliviously. "I'm off in ten minutes."
Fury's jaw snapped shut, cutting off the stream of verbal diarriah. He nodded mutely, and the girl favored him with a dazzling smile.
