Keith gave a commanding, firm handshake. "It's my pleasure, Mr. Luckett. Alexandria has been wonderful to be around. She learns quickly and has a lovely personality." Keith was trying to give Alex as many compliments as possible, as well as make her look especially good to her father. Keith's confident smile didn't fade in the least, nor did his composure falter when Joshua invited him over more often. "I would be delighted, sir. That is, if Alex doesn't mind, I would truly hate to impose." As much as he wanted to spend time with her, he would have preferred if it were at least a little mutual. Keith pulled a marvelous sleight of hand, slipping a neatly folded note into Alex's hand without her father catching on.<br/><br/><br/>The note read:<br/>Dear Alex<br/><br/>I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do whatever I did to upset you. I'll understand of you don't forgive me, or if you don't want to be my friend anymore. I just need you to know that I care about you, a lot. I missed you. Again, I'm really sorry, I hope you'll forgive me<br/><br/>Love, Keith
