After Brunch

[geeky_agent]

[Millitimed to Sunday morning.]

It was nice outside. Not too warm, which Chris was grateful for. Anything that made her choice of a sleeveless turtleneck look less odd, made her happy.

Chris hadn't eaten much at her brunch, something her dad had noticed more than what she wore. Her stomach was tied in knots it seemed. She had told him she didn't feel well, he had told her she could go upstairs and rest. That this could wait till another time.

Then she felt awful.

The guilt was overwhelming. She almost wanted to tell him or someone. But she wouldn't. Partly because Chris had a feeling she was only looking for reassurances that she'd never receive and partly because there was no point. It was a mistake and one she wasn't going to repeat.

She just wishes that made her feel better.

Ryan notices Chris has seemed distracted all morning. He asked her if she was all right, she hadn't eaten much at brunch, but she brushed it off. Told him she wasn't feeling well.

He wasn't sure if that was the truth but, then again, he has no idea what else it could be.

Hands in pockets as he walks, he looks around the lake. It's still early so there aren't too many people outside yet.

"It's nice out."
