[she's wiping at a stain on her shirt, the distinct color of sweet potato; glances up when she notices taller-than-usual movement] Hi. [glances at the stain again, makes a face, then tosses the wet wipe into the trash basket] I think it's a lost cause. [huffs, then smiles]
[raises a brow] Rub some of that detergent on it and toss it into the washer. [smiles] I um...hi. [scratches the back of his head] El said I should apologize for not realizing you were flirting with me. [gives her a big toothy grin]
[her eyes narrow slightly, smiling as he fumbles with his words; an eyebrow goes up when he finally says why he's there and she can feel herself turning red] Oh.. [shakes her head] That's okay. I was.. I, uh.. [lets out an uncomfortable laugh] If anyone should be apologizing, it's.. me. [closes one eye and looks at him] It's been one of those afternoons and my brain and fingers went opposite directions. [crosses her hands] And by the time I realized what I was doing, I was actually glad you hadn't caught it. [laughs again; catches herself staring at the neckline of his shirt and blinks]
[smiles; waves his hand] El and I were talkin' about how slow men are and that's when she mentioned that I had missed your flirting. I think she got a kick out of that. [laughs]
