Eliza had seen him around a few times before. They were both ship-born, so it wasn’t uncommon for the same people to bump into you over and over again. He had been ten when she was born-- always an older, smart gentleman whom she never spoke to. She wasn’t very good at talking to people anyway though. But now, it didn’t seem she had a choice.

They were both in the ship’s library at the same time, and she couldn’t seem to find a step stool. The recipe book she needed was on the top shelf, and he was rather tall... She cleared her throat, reaching out and hesitantly tapping him on the shoulder. 

“Um, excuse me?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t notice you just... Standing there. Did you... Want something to eat?”

“Oh, um... Are you here for something to eat?” 

Eliza glanced up from her spot by the kitchen counter top, brushing a strand of of white-blonde hair away from her eyes. She was spattered with dough and flour, a bowl of cake mix in front of her. A reddening mark that would soon bruise lay across her cheekbone. Her father had gotten angry again, and in order to calm down, she cooked. She would take any excuse she could-- even this other woman randomly wandering into the kitchen.
