odette.
@lucrvm !
It only took a few minutes back within the city walls to learn of Portland’s condition. And only a few seconds for her to ASSUME the place to be all too chaotic for her return to be noticed. Hours passed & the brunette began to STUPIDLY believe she could avoid the older for days; however long it took for her to gather enough courage. Though her plan was cut short, the younger finding herself crossing paths with her boyfriend ( ex ? ) all too soon. Taking an abrupt step back, arms folded anxiously across slender frame. “ Nic. ” The female noted, as if they weren’t beyond introductions & awkward small talk. She could do this, couldn’t she ? As long as the conversation didn’t venture into why’s. Which inevitably, it would. Though she rewarded herself with the delusion that maybe not. Maybe, the entire subject would go untouched.
motions FROZEN as he witnessed an all to familiar face, an all too familiar voice calling his name, nicolas stood still, a neutral expression forced onto pale features. to say he hadn’t expected this was an understatement. & as blue eyes quietly eyed up the petite figure in front of him, MIXED emotions fought their way to the surface; one side reminding him of what she meant to him. of what he would’ve previously given for her ---- questionably, still would. yet the other side was louder, triggering his built up anger ; which inevitably had turned out to be more of a confusion. why did she LEAVE? now, more importantly: why did she come back? if he had learnt one thing, it was that odette ivers didn’t seem like the person to look back. swallowing harshly, the male quietly nodded, his tone distant & perfunctory. ‘’ odette. is there something i can help you with? ‘’
