With the awkwardness between them gradually disappearing after Zoe had left them alone, they enjoyed their conversation. Just then, Oscar and his friends came out of the private room and noticed a familiar figure by the window. Curious, he stopped in his tracks with his eyebrows raised before he took his phone out and took a photo from a distance. Aidan might be in a pinch now.
