What happened to her? "I hit a tree." She said simply. She refused to specify if she meant that literally or figuratively.
She allowed herself to be pulled back up by Milton. Once she was standing, she immediately covered her face with the hood. If he asked what was wrong, she knew she wouldn't be able to stop the tears. And she deserved what little dignity she had left at the moment.
She brushed off the dirt from the back of her shirt before playing nervously with the right sleeve of her sweater. She hadn't worn any sort of jewelry there for a few months now, but old habits died hard.
"Nice day for a walk." she said softly attempting a bit of small talk.
She hit a tree. Yeah, he knew that, Anya.
When they were back on their feet, Milton looked at her and frowned. What was with the hood? Why was she hiding from him? He also saw that she played with her right sleeve. That's where she used to wear that bracelet he gave to her after finding it in Atlantis last term. He knew she didn't wear it anymore, but something tugged inside of him seeing her play with her sleeve where it used to be. He couldn't put a name on it though.
Milton sighed and looked away for a moment. Small talk. Great.
"Yeah. Gorgeous." Sarcasm, obviously. After a moment, Milton looked at her again. Was it so wrong to be concerned about her?
"How are you?" There. That was a different approach.
