#c:jo

Jo had come into his office before the other person arrived, clearly with no-good intentions as she was now knelt on the floor under his desk because there was nowhere else to hide. She was just an intern, she wasn't even supposed to be at Sam's office, let alone spending this much time with him.

“Do you think it’s going to be more than a 20 minute wait to make it to the front of the ice-cream stall? Or do we risk it?”

Everyday, Andrew went and got his mail from his lovely yellow mailbox. And everyday, Andrew hoped he’d get a glimpse of his super cute, yet to be named neighbor. Today was not unlike any other in the way that Andrew fixed his hair before heading out- just in case- and walked down the long driveway slowly, giving himself more time for the off chance of spotting her. What Andrew had not been expecting was for his neighbor to be out on her lawn, causing them to be in close proximity by the time Andrew reached the end of his driveway, and thus his mailbox. He tried to play casual, pretending he hadn’t noticed her at first, opening the box slowly, revealing that there was, yet again, nothing to be gathered.  Andrew closed the thing before acknowledging the woman’s presence, and he flashed her a smile once she’d finally actually looked his way, going to lean his elbow on the mailbox but missing slightly and tripping a little. Without a pause, albeit flushing profusely, Andrew made to lean again, and grinned when his elbow did indeed make contact.  “Hiya,” He said loudly, hoping maybe he’d finally get her name today, “-what’s goin’ on in your life, neighbor?”

“How cute, all geared up to find a silly little shard. Do you even know what these little shards represent?” Abaddon asked as she began circling the person. “Please, try to lower your weapon, you’re scaring me!” She squealed out of delight rather than fear. “What if I said, I could make a little deal with you? A little--trade off of sorts. The shard for your life. What do you say?”
