At the insistence of her father, Eevee visits Veronica ā a daughter of his colleague that heās sure would be a better fit in her new life. It started off awkward at first and she tries to make conversation, but it seems like everything routed back to her love life. She doesnāt have much to say given the fact that she doesnāt even remember if she had one or not and thinking about it just makes her all the more guilty for forgetting. Veronica talks about her boyfriend and, honestly, Eevee tries to listen but thereās a man out the window and before she knows it, heās lit a plant on fire. Her gasp interrupts the story, and she can only smile apologetically before turning back to see him walking away. Sheās not quite sure sheās close enough with the woman yet to let her know that hey, your decor outside is in ashes and so she keeps her mouth shut, nodding and humming at the right moments. It isnāt long before Veronica excuses herself to take a phone call and Eevee would bet her trust fund that sheās going to take a while even though sheās promised a quick minute. She waits and takes a look around, understanding why her father would want her to be like this woman. It seems like she has a good thing going ā save for that burnt plant in front. Sheās about to bid her goodbye because she has a feeling that the phone call would turn into a booty call at one point when thereās a knock in front. Eevee waits for the actual home owner to answer but since it seems like she wonāt be doing that any time soon, she goes and gets it for her. Struck with the bluest eyes sheās ever seen, she can only stand as she listens to the arsonist ramble on about plants. āThe plant combusted into flames,ā she deadpans though thereās a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. āYou bought plants to replace the one that magically caught on fire.ā She ignores the tone of his voice, chalks it off to panic at probably getting caught, and so she decides to take mercy on him and not bring up the fact that sheās essentially the sole witness to his crime. At his invitation to go and inspect the other plants in question, she barely manages her hide the amused snort. āYouāre asking me to go to your car with you and check out some plants. This sounds like a Dateline episode waiting to happen,ā she chuckles. āDo you usually ask strangers to hop in your car with promises of greenery or am I just special?ā The teasing comes naturally and Eevee should probably get going since itās not her house after all, but the situation keeps her entertained nonetheless. āWell considering how I donāt even know you and I donāt even live here, itās safe to say youāre good to go with your plant hoarding.ā
