“Great! Wait right here.” He asks before turning, and walking into the shop. Waving over his receptionist, he tells them to close up shop in an hour or so, and that he’s going out. He grabs his jacket on the way out and gives Hina a smile.
“Okay. I’m all yours now.” He offers her his arm, like the gentleman his parents had raised him to be, and leads her down the street with a quiet ‘follow me’.
“So, what brings you to town? Didn’t your movie come out recently? Are you supposed to leave so soon after the premier?” He gives her a knowing look, mischief twinkling in his eyes. No one comes to Michigo by accident. She was clearly trying to get away from something, but it isn’t his place to pry.
He stops in front of a familiar cafe, gesturing towards the awning shading the sidewalk just in front of it from the warm summer sun.
“This here is the Black Flower Café. It’s not the best place for a full meal, but if you want a really good cup of tea or coffee, a cold drink and a snack…this is the right place to come to.”
“amazing!” hina cheerily claps her hands once before taking hold of his arm, appreciating the nice gesture. she nods to acknowledge his words, for a moment not even pausing to wonder if maybe, just maybe, he’ll lead her right into trouble.
( but isn’t that what she’s here for, anyway? )
“i guess you could say i wanted to get a little break,” she carefully answers, weighing each and every one of her words before she speaks. as nice as this guy looks, she knows she still has to approach anything related to her career with the utmost care. “showbiz is too much sometimes, you see, so i decided to treat myself to a little getaway.”
she pauses to take a good look at the café, her smile seeming pleased enough before she slowly steps inside. hina halts halfway through the door, too, beckoning him over before continuing to make her way over to the counter. she could use some iced coffee.
