"Of course!" "She's one of the prettiest girls i've ever seen!" "She's just like a princess!" "Course i was never really into princesses, but I felt like i met a real one!" "She's so spirited, too. I can definitely see why you like her!' "Waita grab her before someone else did." Kazu said with a mischievous grin and wink.

Chase coughed, a little embarrassed. "Yeah, I think so, too," he agreed quietly. Mia was a strange subject for him. He could write volumes about her...in invisible ink. "She reminds me of someone. I can't really put my finger on it, though. I try not to overthink it. I'm afraid if I do, I'll ruin it. I'm too analytical. She's the more lighthearted and spontaneous one." He smiled at the sky, and then snapped out of it. "Sorry. I babble a little." He laughed.

"Don't worry, i babble all the time!' "Anyway, i should probably get on home." Kazu leaned up and kissed Chase on the cheek-something she had now indicated as a friendly hello or goodbye. I"ll be at work bright an early Monday! Promise!" Kazu closed her eyes and flashed a white smile. "So i'll see you then?" Kazumi said happily.

Chase nodded. "Monday morning. The store opens at around seven o clock; you might want to get there around six thirty so I can show you the ropes." He stood up and brushed dirt off his pants as she kissed him goodbye, and then headed off. "Bye, Kazumi. See you then!" he called after her, waving.
