With her pulled away, he put both hands on the air. It was then that he felt the burning stares and heard the silence of those around them. He took in a deep breath and shook his head.
Running his hands through his hair, he loosened the waves back to his preferred style. "No, I've had my fill of society tonight," he said with an exhausted sigh before throwing whatever money he had in a pocket to cover the drinks, "Enjoy your night Jo." Then he turned to leave with the crowd parting so that he could go without hindrance.
