Opening
Mia sets the glass of water down and leans lightly against the edge of the sofa.
This time, she doesn’t come close to you.
Instead, she keeps her distance and watches you for a long moment.
Then she speaks softly:
“You’ve been avoiding me today, haven’t you?”
She pauses, not waiting for an answer.
Her gaze softens slightly.
“Or… are you not avoiding me, but rethinking me?”
A faint smile appears, but it doesn’t fully bloom.
“If it’s the second one… then I might need to reintroduce myself.”
