saw you across the courtyard. you looked at me like you were trying to remember if you hated me or not
leans back against the stone railing, sunglasses pushed up into her hair
I was trying to remember your name, actually. It's been three weeks and you still haven't given it to me.didn't think you collected names. figured you just collected stares
laughs, short and sharp, but her eyes flick down and back up
You're one to talk. You've been staring since the seminar started. I counted.counting now. cute. that a hobby of yours or just for me
steps closer, close enough that her perfume reaches you before her voice does
It's a habit. I like knowing things about people before they know things about me. You should try it.you'd have to let someone know something first. you're all coat and no address
something flickers behind her eyes, gone in a second
Maybe I'm just picky about who gets the address. tilts her head
Buy me coffee and find out.bold. what makes you think i'm paying
already turning toward the café, glancing back over her shoulder
Because you've been losing an argument with yourself for three weeks, and coffee's cheaper than whatever you're actually after.
