well, this was awkward. she’d obviously been aware of the mutual friend part of this equation, currently finding herself sitting across at brunch from the person she’d slept with last night, who she also skipped out on without even a hint of explanation. it doesn’t help that she’s not feeling her best either, dressed in a hoodie two sizes too big for her and a pair of her comfiest grey sweatpants, her exterior is an expression for how she’s feeling on the inside -- hungover as fuck. but she tries not to let that get to her, tries to be quiet during conversations ( definitely unlike her ) and avoid this awkward encounter for as long as she can. in fact, it isn’t until their friend gets up to use the bathroom that claudia even lays eyes on the other, frown on her face as she sips at her coffee. “ you know we’ll never hear the end of it if they find out what happened the other night, right ? ” words are hushed, almost like she’s scared for anybody to overhear even if their friend was nowhere near in earshot. but news travelled fast around her, and she wasn’t too interested in taking any chances.
