She doesn't just notice her sister's slipping attention, she felt it. Lips tucking downward, Rory allowed her brother to take on the brunt of the work, directing her attention onto the food and food alone.
[break][break]

It looked good, but that wasn't a surprise. It was always good.
[break][break]

"Yeah," she nodded. Her words had become a mumble, shoved under a tight smile like glass under the rug. "Looks real good."

The voice was as familiar as a shudder. Cold, distant. A figure teetering off the edge of stranger-status, upheld by some estranged connection linking them together.
[break][break]

It was hard enough to keep herself together, much less do so in front of her brother's old friend. Still, she made effort. She maintained her smile and greeted Greyson warmly, "H-hey!"
[break][break]

" Yeah, it has been. How've you been doing?"

Today felt like a nightmare.

From annalise henderson "borrowing" the cute top she was going to wear to spilling her water bottle while running to catch the bus, everything was going the worse way possible. And now, after barely arriving 14 minutes before the agreed time, she'd found herself sitting alone, at her favorite cafe, for every regular to point and laugh at.
[break][break]

Realization didn't settle in at first. Rory had just figured he was running late - the guy seemed like the busy type, always jumping onto the next big venture. It was why they clicked so fast. He reminded her of her first crush from High school, just older and blonder.
[break][break]

But then he didn't respond to her texts, and when she looked at her clock she realized it'd already been 30 minutes.
[break][break]

'It's okay, Rory, he's just...running late,' she told herself. It was an easy lie to persuade another 10 minutes worth of strength. 'And...his phone probably died.'
[break][break]

It was only enough to keep her seated, though. Her eyes were another story entirely; lost to the emotion that made her heart wane, they glistened ever-so-softly. Because, deep down, she knew he wasn't showing. She just couldn't do anything about it yet.

Scarlet burnt her cheeks. Anything this guy said sounded attractive. Like she was living out one of those old Regency era romance movies, with him being the hot sturdy duke, and her the naive daughter of a viscount.

"I, uh." She forced herself to keep eye contact. The longer she stared, the easier it would get. His chiseled features would lose its charm, and it'll be like talking to any other less hot guy.

As converastion rattled between the siblings, all Rory could was ignore, ignore, ignore.

Who cares if he got 6 badges, she thought. It didn't matter if he kept doing nothing with it. Even his roommate was more accomplished, grabbing the title aaron faust should've been gunning for.
[break]
[break]
But Sylvie praised him all the same. Just like always.
[break]
[break]

"yup," She finally smiled widely at sylvie faust, feeling the praise like the sun kissing her skin. "still trying to figure out how i want to decorate my cap, but I still got time."
[break]
[break]

She would have all but ignore her brother had it not been for the inkling of familial duties tying them together. And, there was always that hope her achievements would rub off on him.
[break][break]

"Good. I got tickets for everyone. I just hope mom and dad can make it, too."

Pulling back from the faust hug, Rory settled closer to the table than the kitchen, finding refuge outside her brother's shine. Every point of his update earned its own personalized reaction. Sometimes the bent of the brow, sometimes an eyeroll, and occasionally an entire face scrunch.
[break][break]
"So, nothing new there," she muttered under her breath. Her voice then raised, earning it's slice of Sylv's attention. "I've been finishing school. I'm on track to graduate still - you're coming, right?" .

"A pbj..." She repeats the suggestion, mulling it over in silence.
[break][break]

She was never a fan of peanuts, much less peanuts smothered in artificial strawberry flavor. That combination just reminds her too much of her brother. But as much as she meant to obscure this notable fact about her palette, the instinctual scrunch of her nose is a dead giveaway to anyone with eyes.
[break][break]
"Sounds good," She hums, nodding as enthusiastically as she can muster, "wait... is it chunky peanut butter??"

"Ah."

The aeos initiative...
[break][break]
It was as if James had wanted to find her here, cleaning up Muk from the streets, all with the intention of digging into her clearly still-raw wounds and rubbing a bucket-worth of salt into them.
[break][break]
How noble.
[break][break]
Pinches of red continue to splotch her cheeks as her gaze drifts away, seeking refuge anywhere but his eyes, and his dimples, and his smile.
[break][break]
"If that's the case, then don't let me stop you," she forces a smile while her eyes find safety in a pile of trash pushed up against the wall. "There's plenty to go around."

When the knock comes, Rory was already cuddled up on the couch, hot chocolate in one hand, a book in the other. It was the type of roommate bonding time she always enjoyed - the type without much clamor.
[Break][break]
So when the knock does ring out, and masculine voice comes walking in with it, it takes a second for her to comprehend its implications. And another to do something about it.
[Break][break]
"Who is it?"
[Break][break]
Glasses balancing off the bridge of her nose, she looks upward, pushing the back of her head into the couch cushion just enough to gain an inch of Annalise in her vision.

With that, the mawile goes off, readied to discuss compromises with the stray city pokemon, leaving Rory alone to her own devices. And while her initial reaction was to start working on the piles of gunk littering the street, a familiar voice pulls her away.
[Break][break]
"Oh."
[Break][break]
Recognition colors her eyes, embracing them in a wave of warmth, only to be tainted by what follows. Utter embarrassment.
[Break][break]
"Yeah, I remember..."

He was the guy who ghosted her shortly after Silph's rejection letter slipped into her email.

His voice is something out of a period piece. Low and secretive, with a ribbon of tease weaved through it. More than anything, it reminds her of Simon - her current fictional crush. Cold, isolated Duke of the North type character. The type of guy she wouldn't dare dream of, because like all fantasies, they're riddled with red flags, both left and right.
[Break][break]
And that extends to caden maher, too.
[Break][break]
"Sweet!" Her voice almost comes out a squeak. There is no hiding the embarrassment already playing tricks on her cheeks.
[Break][break]
Nerves drive her fingers into the depths of her hair, coiling it around them, only to release, over and over again. "How about you...?" .

Envy teems off from her redden cheeks as she watches Sylvie dump her love onto Aaron yet again. It was always like this with them - him making mistakes, and her coddling him, all while ignoring her efforts.
[Break][break]
And like always, there is expectation to bear through it. To accept his constant mistakes and smile.
[Break][break]
And so she does.
[Break][break]
Forcing a smile, she steps into the embrace, focusing her warmth onto Sylvie, secretly hoping it'll all find it's way back to her and her alone.

Shivers chased his voice, running down her spine with ease.
[break][break]
Her legs were reduced to useless pieces of jello, barely fit to keep her afloat, despite her desperation for freedom. He absolutely reeked of danger.[break][break]

"I had to stay late," she murmured, barely strong enough to push his hand down from her lips. "And I wanted a snack..."
[break][break]
A snack that cost her every piece of her sanity.
[break][break]
Against her better judgment, Rory tilted her chin upward, daring to stare up at his eyes. It felt rude not to.

The scene was something out of a novel.
[break][break]
In moments she went from stumbling idiot to adorably awkward heroine, all through the baptizing of his hard chest pressing into her back.
[break][break]
"Caden!"
[break][break]
Although muffled, his name came out in one sudden puff of surprise. She hadn't seen him in what, months? Which was forever given the dangerous times they were living in.
[break][break]
After another heartbeat of a second, the realization settled in, staining her cheeks a bright strawberry red. All it took was discovering whose muscular arm was stretched across her waist and Rory was dizzy all over. If he let go, she'll fall back toward the ground again, no question about it.
