It was two full days after they had arrived home that she chose to approach him again.
She watched as the back door to the bakery swung open, and her perplexing human appeared for his lunch break, carrying a tin full of pelmeni.
His eyes narrowed as she approached him, carefully gliding along, out of place, with her heavenly light, in the narrow, dim alleyway.
She simply stared at him.
He stared back.
After a quite a few beats of silence, she said…
"I'm sorry."
She watched as he raised an eyebrow in shock.
"What you said...no one has said that to me before. So you understand...it's been quite a shock."
"Really? Nobody in your...however many years," he watched as she smirked here, "of doing this?"
"I've had many angry people...frustrated people...confused, struggling people...but no one has ever said what you said to me. You're a first...in many ways."
"Well, I'm glad to hear that," he cleared his throat. "Whether your opinion of me has improved or worsened, in at least happy to hear that I am memorable."
She grinned. "Oh you are so much more than just memorable."
He smiled slightly back at her and opened his tin of pelmeni.
She gazed upon him with silence, mentally pondering what was to happen next.
"Also," his voice broke her out of her thoughts, "I think you'll be happy to hear that I have taken matters into my own hands, and am going on a date this coming Friday."
"Oh?" She blinked. "With who?"
"Tasha."

Until next time ya'll, wishing you a nice day/night wherever you may be. And please...be kind to one another (and in the reviews LOL)
