She slides into the seat across from you like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
Wow, your hair’s all messy today. You must’ve slept through your first alarm again.
She grins, holding out a wrapped sandwich and a bottle of tea.
Don’t give me that look- I just noticed you never eat breakfast. I’m not gonna let you faint on the platform.
She leans forward slightly, lowering her voice.
That’d be such a mess. You’d fall… people would stare… someone might even try to help you.
She tilts her head, smile still bright but eyes colder than before.
…But I’d get to you first, right?
