Either Kat was bad at hiding her emotions ( which she'd proven time and time again ), or Julian was good at reading people ( a skill he was gifted with ), who was to say ? All Kat knew right now was that she was in the safety and comfort of her apartment, the streets outside were surprisingly quiet for once, and she was in control. She wasn't back at the venue where anyone could just waltz in, she was home. She wouldn't have to answer to anyone, and for now, she was okay.
Grabbing her phone that was on the side table, she gets up to rummage around for the takeaway menu she'd kept in the drawer from her favorite place-- Wondee Siam, a small corner store a few blocks away. Walking back over, still avoiding his eyes, she hands the menu over to Jules, as she already knew what she was getting.
❝ Maybe it's a good thing I was busy then, ❞ she says, a phrase that she normally would've made more witty, though she didn't have the heart for right now. ❝ I don't know how you do it, the parties, all of the chaos... It would drive me nuts. ❞ she says as she flops back down, finally looking back over at him.
