She smoothed her skirt down, pleased that it was warmer inside than out. With the weather changing it meant the air was starting to chill, the leaves were falling and painting the world in autumn and it was an excuse to wear warm and snuggly clothes. One she didn't really mind since you could ultimately still be stylish even as you sought comfort.
She pressed the lift button and waited for the doors to close.
Kensi thought that going home for lunch, changing, and cleaning up a bit would make her feel better.
But she felt ten times worse. The drooling...she had a handkerchief held up to her mouth...and she was trying her hardest not to lose focus...but she couldn't help it...and her stomach was really churling...baaad. She looked a little green, too, in the mirror.
Sick.
When she got onto the lifts, there was a woman there..Merlin..Kensi tried to smile, being all friendly, but sadly she only coughed and gagged and sputtered...oh nooo. She didn't...she didn't want to throw up here on the lifts!
"S-s-sorry..." she muttered, her green eyes suddenly losing focus.
And she knew it, this time. She knew it.
