119 I Think I'm Losing My Mind

Delta wouldn't meet Jocelyn's eyes, which was suspicious. She was beginning to think that his friend was purely hypothetical and that he was talking about himself. It was one of the oldest tricks in the book. 

Hang on…if Delta was Keith…she was Keith's best friend! Only friend but it was basically the same thing. 

Did he seriously like her?! Why? What goodness could he have possibly seen in her to inspire that? Was that why he wanted to spend more time with her lately outside of their usual schedule at work? Was it why he had been acting so strangely the past couple of days after they went to the arcade? Had he thought of that as a date?
