Abby listened intently to the description of Jon's college major. Quite impressed, really that he even ventured to understand it, let alone learn more about this area of expertise and then make it a career... Or in the very least; worthy of a degree. Perhaps it was the difference in location. Richmond tended to be a bit more on the up-and-up when compared to her small hometown. Goode literally consisted of a single stop-light, and a convenience store with expensive fuel. The rest was farm land, and newly established developments. Or it simply boiled down to the difference of personalities. Likes and dislikes.. These are often what shape a person. Their decisions are thusly based upon those very same likes and dislikes, and their careers choices often follow the same path. She didn't know who Nate Silver was, but just to sate her curiosity, she'd probably go look him up when she returned home for the night. She assumed that with the elections just recently concluded; his study-load would lighten somewhat in the coming months.<br/><br/>Jon took a sip of his coffee, and a smile unfurled upon Abby's lips.<strong>"To be honest, that doesn't sound the least bit appealing..."</strong>She wrinkled her nose with a small bubble of laughter. Obviously she hadn't meant this as a jab-- simply stating that this wasn't her area of expertise, and probably for no other reason than the fact that she just didn't understand it.<br/>Jon asked what she did, and a blush flourished in the bulbs of her cheeks. Light pink hues mingling with the pale canvas of her flesh.<strong>"I'm just a CNA right now.. Going to school for my nursing degree. Nothing too exciting."</strong>it was then that she looked back up at the clock. Five minutes to nine! How had the time flown by so fast?<strong>"Speaking of: I've gotta get to the hospital. So sorry to chat and leave."</strong>her blush deepened to crimson as she hurriedly began putting on her jacket. A thought crossed her mind, and she tried brushing it off, grabbing her cup of coffee. No.. She would.<strong>"This is crazy... I know I just met you, but I really enjoyed our talk."</strong>Abby snatched a napkin from a dispenser on the table, and grabbed a pen (from somewhere... Dunno where it's coming from. xD)<strong>"Here's my number.. Give me a call sometime! I'd love to do coffee again."</strong>Jotting down her number, she left the napkin on the table in front of Jon, and turned to leave; giving him a broad smile, and a wave before she exited, and raced down the street to work.
