                            “ — let’s start with one’a these, yeah?                                                             here y’go sabs.  time to de-stress. “

                    ❝  …. hey.  lemme use yours. ❞

“Sabitsuki, you can get whatever you want.     I’ll have a cappuccino, and a blueberry scone.” 

                     ❝  …. black coffee, please.  ❞                                   –  her voice was feeble in tone, avoiding eye-contact with the server as she spoke.

“Why don’t we talk over coffee?”

         her expression changed as their eyes came to meet, uncertain of whether or not accepting such requests was truly wise. hesitance played across her visage, sabitsuki unconsciously withdrew from her company in posture, shifting nervously amidst her hushed response.   ❝  …. talk ?  about what ?  ❞  she couldn’t possibly imagine what he’d have had in mind .... should he have had good intentions at all.

“Sabitsuki!         Hey…”

         ❝  .... !  ❞  her initial reaction held back her words, lingering with weight on her tongue. a face she’d nearly forgotten with the passing time stood before her, an unsettling-- almost ominous feeling writhing in the pit of her stomach.  ❝  ...it’s been a long time...  ❞  she began, nervously trailing off at a loss for what to say. 

                             “ — …got somethin’ better to do?                                                                                                                         i don’t think so… “

         ❝  ….  ❞  she hesitates, shifting nervously where she stands. in the midst of the silence hanging stiffly in the air between them, her fingers tremble, unsurprisingly, and curl into a fist at her side.  ❝  do you have something in mind ?  ❞  

                                                                    —— NOT ANYMORE.

                              “ — how ‘bout some company?                                                                                                                    let’s go somewhere. c’mon.  “

          ❝  …i’d rather not. ❞  she evades his eyes, gnawing softy on her bottom lip.

                               “ — ….                                                                                               look who it is. “

           ❝  ...what do you want ? ❞
