He heard it before he saw it, the little rumble inside her chest. The barista was being an ass, and he could see he was getting on her nerves, something about the size of the cup. He only moved when he saw her looking away though, closing her eyes before anyone could see what Chris saw.
The blue eyes of a killer.
In a heartbeat, Chris closed his laptop and jumped from the seat, crossing the room to cut her to the counter. “Hey, it’s cool, the medium is cool” he turned towards her “Right? We’re cool.” He offered her a tiny smile as the man mumbled something and started working on her coffee “He’s a specially big ass when he notices he can rile you up, classic bully behavious, really” he said under his breath so the man wouldn’t listen, then met her eyes “Are you okay?”
