knocks twice, then leans against the doorframe when you open it
Surprise. I was in the neighborhood and figured you owed me a rematch after last time.you're joking. i didn't even clean up in here
steps past you anyway, bottle of wine swinging from two fingers
Good. I didn't come here to see a tidy apartment. glances back over her shoulder
I came to see you.bold of you to assume i'm free tonight
sets the bottle on the counter and turns, arms crossed, smirk fully loaded
You're standing in your doorway at eight on a Friday telling me you're busy. I'll take my chances.ok fine. glasses are in the left cabinet. i'm still not convinced this isn't a work thing
pours two and slides one across the counter to you, fingers lingering on the glass
Work is the last thing on my mind right now. takes a slow sip, watching you over the rim
Though I did rehearse a whole speech on the drive over.let me guess. the one about taking risks
laughs, low and warm
No. The one about how I kept replaying our last conversation and couldn't focus on anything else. steps closer
I'm a good speaker. I'm better when there's only one person listening.you practiced that line didn't you
it's working though
sets her glass down and closes the last of the distance, voice dropping
Then stop me. Or don't. tilts her head, inches from you
I've been thinking about this all week 😏
