For not the first time upon becoming acquainted with Cameron, Nicola's jaw dropped and her mouth formed into a tiny circle. "I had no idea!" she revealed, quiet shocked.
A stutter? Why, she had no idea, there wasn't even the faintest of hints in his manner of speech or persona. How difficult was overcoming a stutter, she wondered. Extremely, Nicola could only assume, as accomplishing anything perfectly took many hours and a substantial amount of devotion...
Nicola had just been about to ask if he had been teased in school when Cameron dropped her hand and stopped dancing. Over already? She blinked, pulling herself out of her own thoughts to reacquaint herself with her surroundings. Her mouth snapped back shut, and uncomfortably formed into a pressed squiggle. She would like to leave, as with every passing second the likelihood of getting trapped into a situation with Mattie was high, but the sad longing in Cameron's voice made her heart twinge with guilt. He had been very gentleman-like all afternoon, not once asking about her erratic bouts. It would be very inconsiderate to demand departure when he felt so content with staying a bit longer...
Wringing her hands together, Nicola pulled back her lips to form a thin line. Eventually, she let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "I would not mind staying longer," she began, something of a nervous smile now appearing on her face. "As long as you wish to enjoy the atmosphere as well."
It would be harder for Mattie to track her down if she was constantly moving, yes? "But only if you tell me more about when you were younger," Nicola hastily stipulated, and turned to hold out her bent elbow for Cameron to take so they could properly walk together.
