She had no space to call her own anymore. She shared a home with Asher. And then her brain went into panic mode, wondering if her sudden desire to be alone meant that they had rushed this, that maybe they hadn't been ready to move in together. Her heart was beating hard in her chest, and it felt hard to breathe. Chloe felt the sudden urge to just run away. She needed air, she needed space, she needed... she needed...
to get ahold of herself.
Taking a few steadying breaths, she calmed herself down and looked slyly over the top of her menu at Asher. She loves Asher, and Asher loves her, and they get along really well. The kids would be home, soon, and that meant even less possible space for Chloe to be alone. Could she ask for space? Could she ask for maybe just... just one room that was all her own, that she could just have to be hers? Was that.. weird to want? Was that bad to want? She loved Asher with all of her heart, and she loved spending time with him, but sometimes people just needed time alone, right? Time to think...
...about things like this.
"So, what are you going to get?" she said with a cheerful smile despite the panic going on inside her brain.
Asher hummed to himself, not sure how to respond, he was in a mood that he'd eat anything that was placed in front of him...well he did that already, but he still couldn't decide.
"I don't know." He told her.
"I need to choose quickly or my stomach is going to protest." he told her still hidden behind the menu as his stomach growled again at him.
"What are you going to get?" he asked peeking his eyes over the top of the of the menu at her. Maybe when she told him what she was eating he'd make a decision.
