the other femaleâs accommodating manner took esme by SURPRISE. normally it was she who did what she could to make sure others were content, as one does when it comes to customer service. pausing in her position against the counter, the girl grinned, grey painted nails waving insistently â trying to signal that it was okay. â oh, no. â dark waves s w a y i ng about her features. â if you ordered something else, iâll be happy to make it for you. & especially if youâre going to accept that drink, i certainly am not going to have you pay for it. it was my mistake, and well, you know how it goes: donât like your drink and weâll remake it for you and all that ! â
as long as it got her out of a conversation, claudia would take it. her mind was like that of a shy child, wanting to have others do everything for her as she stood behind and wished she was invisible. she never got out of that phase, years of sheltering leading to an introvert to revert into something even more than that, which was far from societies idea of socially acceptable. âit really is fine, you donât need to do any more work.â her words were rushed and hushed, she was always in between wanting a conversation and dreading one. âi really wouldnât want to make you put in anymore work than necessary, it really is fine.â
