The only other person that ever spoke his full name was his father, and only when he was very displeased. It wasn’t something that had happened too often, especially not after he left home, but he just couldn’t stand it whenever someone did it. He had the urge to respond to her in the same fashion ‘And you, Adelisa Davis, are not running away?’ But he held his tongue this once. Her lips betrayed that she was actually very nervous despite her witty comment. That tendency of hers was one of the few things he did remember very well. She was willing to talk, and this might be the only chance he’d get. He nodded as he stood up, following her outside. Just like Addy, he left the book on the table. It wasn’t his book anyway. If someone would take it, he’d just take another copy. The library had a few of them. It wasn’t a big deal. What was a big deal, however, was making sure that his vacation wasn’t going sour over his issues with his ex-girlfriend. Their relationship had been one with many faults. He could never really pinpoint what exactly had been the reason everything went to badly. Sure, he was incredibly busy those two months: His start-up company had reeled in a huge job, college was busier than ever and he was moving to a new apartment. Julius had pulled several all-nighters. Even so, the time they actually were able to spend together just didn’t go smoothly. Julius wasn’t a good listener, and Addy wasn’t the type that liked to confront him whenever he said something disagreeable. It felt as if they just didn’t work well together. It was weird, he remembered that before things got serious they were actually hitting it off quite well. Julius took a few seconds to get his act together, thinking out exactly what his preferred outcome of this conversation was and how he wanted to get there. He had told Hunter to seek to understand before being understood, but that wasn’t something he was actually good at himself. Nevertheless, he was the one that had to start this conversation, he was the one who started this after all. His eyes were still trained on hers. He kept his earlier posture. He tried to show that he was confident and strong, despite actually being rather unsure.

I’d like for us to be able to see eye-to-eye again.“[/color] He fell silent for a few seconds, allowing Addy to take in the information [color=00aeef]“How about you?”[/color]
