Leo smiles and shakes his head. "You keep thanking me. Stop it. I didn't do anything but slap some paint on the walls. See all this?" He gestures around the room, people and all the work that had been done. "It's because of you."
Cocking his head, he lets his eyes linger on Cassy's face, tracing around her eyes and cheeks and back to her eyes again. She deserved someone to celebrate with. But when the evening was over, she'd be alone once again. She had been dumped by Steve and for what? She was worth so much more than being treated like that and it was a shame she would have to celebrate alone the success of the day.
Dropping his gaze, Leo glances at his watch. There was time yet for him to make it to the races. It was barely getting dark. He really wanted to see another success tonight. But...
His eyes go back to Cassy. "When everybody's gone... you wanna... I don't know... go get some ice cream or something? Kinda celebrate the evening?"
