They looked at him questioningly

Not exactly what he was hoping for

but at least they were looking

Now what?

Gotta do something

with this attention

They watch

waiting

anticipating what's to come

Mind blanks

The plan's gone out the window

time to wing it

Nothing's happened

Attention is shifting

and they're no longer looking

Didn't take the chance

Missed the opportunity

Fading into the background again
