"Ri, I wa sjust...." Sirius stammered, unable to understand why she was suddenly unplayful and against the whipped cream. He frowned, feeling very much like an idiot. How was he suppose to win her over if she didn't seem to like most of the things he did? Sure, they got along just fine, but sometimes it felt like he just pushed all the wrong buttons when it came to that girl. Confused, Sirius slumped down on the couch, feeling very much defeated. He looked at James and sighed. Perhaps later he would talk to his best friend, admit his feelings and try to get some help. He looked at the stairs, where she had disappeared, and buried his face in a cushion.<br/><br/>Lily was distracted from James's question, not hearing it as Riley seemed to have some sort of internal outburst and marched up the stairs. She slid out of James's lap, kissed his cheek and hurried off up the stairs after her best friend. She knocked lightly on the door, entering without waiting for an answer, but giving Riley enough time to hide her face if she wanted to. She moved over to the bed, sitting down on it and resting a cautious hand on Riley's shoulder, the way she always did when she knew something was wrong.
