Chase blinked. "No, uh, you just looked uncomfortable, and I--didn't know if it was me, or..." The bizarre situation that it had just become was a little unnerving, but, when he thought about it...it was a little funny. He chuckled and shook his head a little bit.

Looking out the window, he saw that it wasn't raining anymore. And he did have to get back to the store. So he stood up, gathering his things and pushing his chair in.

"So, I guess I'll see you later, Soph," he said, smiling as he pushed his glasses further up on his nose.

Soph blinked. "H, h, huh?" She turned around and looked out of the window. It had stopped raining. "Well, I'd better go too. Maybe something good will happen in the Valley?" Soph was questioning."No!"She said angrily to herself."No-I must be positive!"She stopped, awkward as usual. "Um...this might sound weird but...I will see you again Chase won't I? It has been nice thiss afternoon-better than I thought it would be...Oh, just forget it..."Soph's 'postive attitude' drained at the last moment and she rose from her seat and headed to the door slowly, and not talking. Ohmanohmanohman! Why do I do that?Soph was slowly getting sad again.
