After Angela and Lionel introduced themselves to each other, there was a moment of silence.
The main character and one of her love interests exchanged awkward glances. In any case, Angela definitely felt awkward: her cheeks flushed slightly, and her fingers nervously fiddled with the hem of her dress.
She looked at the boy with curiosity mixed with timidity. Lionel, on the other hand, seemed completely unperturbed — he looked at the girl in front of him with his usual emotionless gaze.
Well, I could understand why the atmosphere was like that right now. Of course, it's always awkward to meet a new person you don't know. Especially when it comes to children: for them, such moments could be even more embarrassing.
