She’s had good days. But it’s his arrival that has sparked it immediately into a bad day. Not that she’s planning on telling him that right out the gate. She continues to clean, the soap foaming up around the glasses as she nods. She heard him, but she isn’t sure what to say back to him. It wasn’t good to see him in return. In fact, she’d been hoping to avoid him. “Yeah.” That’s all she manages to say before she begins to rinse out the soap from the glasses, setting them to dry on the drying rack.
It unfortunately frees up her hands and her task, however, in time to see the bottle slid toward her. The frown tugs on her face before she reaches over to take the bottle. “Thanks.” She takes the bottle and inspects it for a moment before setting it on the back counter, returning to face him with her arms folding across her chest.
She forces herself to look at him – to actually look at him – to take in the violet sweater and the look of awkardness like he isn’t sure entirely what to do while she reacts like this and it only forces her to keep the status quo. She isn’t going to change how she reacts because it makes him uncomfortable. “What’re you here for, Kai?” She asks, long slender fingers tapping against her biceps as she stares at him, guarded and careful.
