She stared at him for some moments, before taking his cup and offering it to him. "Mm," she replied. "Before you called, she asked me if I wanted to go with her and Kengo-san and Gentarou-san to watch the meteor shower. I told her I would, but then I-- I changed my mind." Because Ryusei asked her out on a date. Her cheeks burned as she recalled the sound of Yuuki's laugh, though she knew her friend didn't mean anything harsh or rude with it. Yuuki was just not that type of person.
"They didn't tell me where they're going to watch, but I'm betting they're on Amanogawa. I do wonder how they're going to sneak inside."
Pause. When she spoke next, she was whispering.
"I don't regret this, Ryusei-san. You don't have to worry about that." She had called him cruel to his face, but that was her own devastated feelings talking. Now that she was becoming more aware of his feelings as well - something hard to do earlier, given what had transpired - she was beginning to understand that this wasn't just hurting her, this was hurting him as well. And more than anything, when he's hurting, her first instinct was to soothe it away.
