Laura slowed to a walk as she approached him at a closer distance now and she offered a weak smile. She was thoroughly embarrassed and wasn't sure what exactly to say to make it more comfortable right now. She, too, was biting at her lip and she rocked on her heels again. It could have been a nervous habit maybe or just a habit altogether but with Laura it was common. She pushed an errant lock from her face and tucked it behind one multi-pierced ear.<br/><br/><strong>"I thought you wanted me to show you around? I hope that thing with Shawn didn't change your mind. That was nothing. Really."</strong><br/><br/>She looked back up at him and held her bag close to her. She tugged a tube of cherry gloss from a front pocket and opened it up rubbing it across her already shiny red lips. If he were any closer he could smell the strong scent of wild cherries. She rubbed her lips together and pressed them tight against each other before she tucked the tube away again.
