"What's up, luv?"
"I didn't want you to think I was avoiding you yesterday. Well, I suppose I was, but it had nothing to do with you. I was feeling off and really needed to talk with someone. It didn't dawn on me until this morning that you needed the same thing."
Mark was a bit taken aback.
"How do you know that?"
"Your eyes, darling. It occurred to me when I looked in the mirror that I'd seen that same look in my own eyes."
