Tanis’ shift had gone by in a blur, leaving her without any time to speak of to consider what had went down nor how she felt about it. All she knew was that even thinking about Sinead made her feel giddy and girl-like in a way that she hadn’t for a long time.<br/>Needless to say, she had not managed to get a lot of rest between her shift ending and her having to wake up to go to her meeting with Avi. Her nerves were on her sleeves as she exited the bus to walk the remainder of the way to the house she had visited so many times. After all, it had been one thing to kiss Sinead in the darkness of her kitchen or hiding in the back room at work, but Tanis honestly had no idea how she was going to hold herself upon seeing Sinead in her home again.<br/>In a way, it felt like visiting the house for the very first time all over again, finding the sensation to be so new, feeling like she was being watched far more than she normally was, and it made her feel queasy. Maybe it had all been a stupid idea and she should have considered actually rejection Sinead, rather than letting both of them believe that this could come to anything.<br/>These were thoughts that occupied Tanis’ mind as she knocked on the door, almost feeling like turning around and running away again, figuring that she would do better in jail anyway.<br/>That, however, changed as soon as she saw Sinead.<br/>Rationally, she knew that Sinead had had to have worn a wig the previous times she had seen her, it was only common sense after all, yet there was still an edge of shock upon seeing her without it.<br/>Seeing Sinead did managed to quell Tanis’ nerves some, finding that she had gone back to feeling more like a school girl again rather than the wreck she had been moments before. Everything about Sinead was appealing to her and the more she learnt of the other woman the more she wanted to know.<br/>“Hi,” she managed, her smile shy and her voice more confident than she would have thought it would be. “Sorry I’m early, busses to your place are shit.”
