joseph wasn’t stupid. he could see that she was all too eager to bolt past him – she hadn’t even looked him in the face, though maybe that was a good thing. it was just that he was terribly lonely in america, with no one he knew && nothing to really do. he had only brought a handful of books when the family fled versailles, && they had already been read several times over. still, if this girl didn’t want to speak to him he couldn’t exactly make her. ❝—- certainly, mademoiselle. ❞ he shuffled to one side of the walkway, sweeping an arm down the street. ❝—- i apologize for bothering you. i hope that you have a nice day! ❞
