He suppressed a smile when she found him again, only this time closer than she had expected him to be and shifted to what he would have to describe as one of the most forced casual stances he had ever seen in his life.<br/><br/><strong>“Hey Ryan,”</strong> she said, although the tone of her voice seemed to indicate she wasn't very happy to see him but before he could even muster a confused frown she brought her fist to her mouth and coughed in an attempt to cover it up.<br/><br/><strong>"Er, sorry. I think I had something in my throat. I don't know. Do I still sound like a bag of shit?</strong> <br/><br/>Ryan chuckled <strong>“Hey Natalie, no, you sound fine to me.”</strong>  he replied as he leaned back against the fence as well, sensing an awkward silence begin to fill the air between the two of them.<br/><br/><strong>“So…”</strong> Ryan began, trying not to let that silence grow as he turned to look at the blonde <strong>“Went for the all black look eh? Nice, it works on you.”</strong> Internally he groaned surely he could have picked a better ice breaker than that? But hey if it worked then it would be fine and if not…well they say silence is golden.<br/></div>
