“Oh yeah? Were there specifics? Did you leave him with plenty of caffeine?” Summer glances up from her laptop, grinning. “Or is this him doing that thing where he’s afraid he’ll screw it up if he tries to … make his friends be friends?”
“Guess that’s true, I’m not much at all compared to them.” Clint agrees smiling at you. “Hmm, I think that there’s a lot more to you than you say. It’s not a bad thing. Guess we have had enough of talking for now. What do you like to do for fun? “
She lifts the laptop a little. “Computer things. Read. Sing, dance, video games. Chase the cats around the house. Sometimes work out. Wander outside. Well, in Central Park. I’m not really a city girl.”
Clint nods as you speak and grins when you mention cats and video games. “Most of those I can agree with. I grew up in the countryside myself. Would you like to accompany me for a walk outside? It seems to have started snowing too, so maybe we could drop in for tea or coffee afterwards.”
“Find me somewhere that serves hot chocolate and you’re on.” She puts the laptop aside and tumbles off the couch gracelessly, arms and legs everywhere. Shaking her hair out of her face, she finds her boots and a coat and pulls them on, explaining, “I’m not the caffeine addict Tony is. I don’t actually like coffee or tea. That’s why there’s that tin of chocolate in the kitchen, it’s mine.”
