@enduresit gets a bonus lil thing
she sees the movement out of the corner of her eye before she hears the quiet knock on her window. instinctively baran knows before she even looks just who is standing outside of her car. she knows why he’s up here. there’s no reason for him to be up here tonight. his ride home isn’t up in this parking lot. no. he’s come for her. robby. it takes a moment for baran to find the will to move. there’s a soft sigh on her lips as she reaches her left hand to first unlock the car door before she’s opening it without a word.
to anyone else watching, her movements would look planned. like she’d been waiting for him to show up. only she hadn’t been, but without a word she still knows. it only takes one look into his deep brown eyes for them to exchange all of the words they need to. she hesitates for a long moment, looking back at him as she weighs it up in her mind. she knows what he’s offering. once upon a time she wouldn’t have hesitated to accept, but now….
she moves. slightly slower than normal, exhausted from the long day with a tiredness that’s been triplicated due to what’s been going on. undoing her seatbelt, she slips out of the drivers seat and leaves the door open for robby before she’s rounding the vehicle and climbs back into the passenger seat. baran still says nothing, unsure what there is left to say at this point. resting her head back against the headrest, she closes her eyes and waits in patient silence. either for him to talk or to hear the sound of the engine start, but she’s not sure which one she wants to hear at this point.
