How long had it been since he had ever said a comment like that before? She had no idea but....she hadn't minded. Not in the slightest, but of course she couldn't let him know that...at least not right now. They were just starting to patch things up.
But Violet couldn't help but smile while her back was to him after he had said it. She waited a couple of seconds after he finished what he was saying about going to see Mrs. Skylar she then turned around nodding her head in agreement,"Yes...you're right..I'm sure she could fix this right up..." Violet then turned to go and head back towards the house to get her bruise taken care of, but something stopped her. She could have sworn she could him mutter something right before she was to leave and she asked lightly,"Sorry? I didn't catch that.."
Oh thank goodness.
Violet didn't seem to freak out
or think he was some creepy weirdo when he said she was beautiful. For now, anyway. But he was thankful enough that she was still here talking to him. It had literally been months before this, and talking again felt so nice. Things felt real again. Happy, almost.
"Yeah... Mhmm..." he agreed, not really listening to a word she said. He wasn't meaning to tune her out, but of course he was getting lost in that messy brain of his again.
But then she started leaving.
"Wait... what? Where are you going?" Was she just going to leave like that? Oh, he thought they'd been making progress! This clearly wasn't an important discussion for her. This was just an awkward talk. Of course.
What had he said? Well, he didn't really want to just admit that he had been calling himself an idiot... But of course he did. She made him all dorky and weird, but that was just what she did to him.
"I was calling myself dumb... I MEAN... How's your mum?" Of course, Christopher. Always so smooth, wasn't he?
