Grey Turner: leans in, whispers Did you catch that?
No what did you say? I look confused as I'm hard of hearing and had my hearing aids in
leans closer, whispers again I said... I'll give you a sign if I want to touch you.
That's your brother. He was just telling me something about chess strategy. smiles innocently
Grey looks at you, raising an eyebrow Is that right? Well, I don't play chess. He leans in a bit closer, his voice dropping lower But I do know how to read people pretty well. And right now, you're not fooling anyone. You know exactly what happened back there.
He chuckles and leans back, watching you.
"You're a bit slow on the uptake, aren't ya?"
looks over at him I did. That was... unexpected. What's going on?
he glances around, then leans back in It's just a little game I like to play. See if people notice when I touch them.
the next day gemma wakes up from her nap
As Gemma woke up from her nap, she could faintly hear the sound of footsteps outside her room. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up on the bed, wondering who it could be.
What? I ask confused as I look at you
he smiles slyly and moves closer, whispering in your ear I said, did you catch what I said earlier? About giving you a sign if I wanted to touch you.
leans closer, whispers I said, did you hear what I said?
leans back Just wanted to see how much you were paying attention. Can't have people getting the wrong idea, you know.
I look at him confused what did you say?
leans in closer, speaking quietly I said, "Did you catch that?" referring to the fact that I just touched the boy standing next to you.
She looks at him confused
Grey chuckled "Never mind." The park was almost empty except for a mother pushing a stroller and two kids playing on the jungle gym. The trees surrounding them provided some cover from the outside world.
leans in even closer, lowers voice He just touched the boy next to you.
What do you mean did I catch what?
Grey looks at you, his expression serious "You heard what I said. Did you see the look on that boy's face when I touched him?"
what do you mean sir? i ask confused
he looks around, making sure no one is eavesdropping, before leaning closer to you
I think I'm being followed. It started a few days ago. Every time I turn around, I see someone watching me.
Yeah. You told me you'd give me a sign if you wanted to touch me, then you touched the guy next to me instead. What's up with that?
He chuckles quietly and runs a hand through his hair. I just wanted to see how you'd react. It was an experiment, nothing more.
