440: "It's always you"

"It's always you"

Alicia looked at Lance up and down. Why was he looking so un-lancely?

"Why do you look like this? Did you get your heart broken?" Alicia asked him in a light tone. She had meant it as a joke even though she was concerned about what was wrong with him, but his reaction made her even more curious. 

His demeanour suddenly changed, and he looked crestfallen. His jawline turned rigid as if he was trying to suppress whatever emotion in him that was trying to force its way out.

"Are you okay?" Alicia asked in concern. 

"I don't... think I am." He said with a sad smile, one Alicia had never seen before. 

Then he asked her, "Are you okay? She was... your friend."

"Who?" Alicia asked in confusion.

"Susan." 

"Why wouldn't I be okay? Where is she, by the way? I haven't seen her at all today." Alicia said as she looked in the direction of the door. If Lance had been able to hear about this commotion here, Susan definitely should have been here by now.
