...Damn. She was sure that their eyes met as she was just staring in the window. Now she was trapped in a battle of manners. This was already exhausting.

Despite her strongest urge, she stepped inside.

It wasn't surprising for Asha to pay a visit to the video store, especially not as of late. Sure, she used to come by just to return one she'd rented and take out another, but ... Well, there was quite the change in situations.

That was why the doe had slipped her way into the store just after Belle went off who knows where for the night, smile spread across her lips as eyes locked with the very man she'd come to see.

Only when air became necessary does she pull away, eyes flicking down to the stain of crimson now smeared on his mouth and a breathy laugh leaving the woman.

" You wanna come inside? "

"Hey, Wise? I got good news, aaaand bad news." Belle planted her knees on the couch's cushion as she looked to her brother over the back of it. Judging from the oil smear on her cheek, and the fact that she was wearing the black tank top that she wore whenever she performed maintenance on the car, she'd been doing just that. Which probably meant that whatever news she had to bear regarded their vehicle...
