She followed his movements
In the reflection on the glass cabinet
A quiet part of her wondering
if he’d say anything else.
He didn’t.
Just as he turned to grab his coffee flask
Her voice came again
This time softer, without calculation.
“You’re leaving early today?”
He turned, surprised, pleasantly.
“Yeah… a little. Thought I’d reach on time for once,” he smiled
Lifting the flask. “No traffic nightmares.”
She managed a small smile too. “Your shirt’s nice.”
He blinked. “Thanks.”
And that was it.
But something had changed.
Not dramatically. Not loudly. Just… slightly.
As he laced his shoes near the main door,
His phone buzzed in his pocket.
