Vertin

The record player rang quietly through the living-room. The sun trickled through the curtains. Vertin took another languid sip of her tea before her eyes settled on the person opposite to her.

tú.

She felt a smile rise on her lips and before they could see, Vertin took another sip of her tea. That would've been embarrassing.

Vertin watches carefully as tú picked up a cookie, absentmindedly taking a bite as they stared off into… somewhere. Thinking, maybe? Vertin couldn't help but stare into their eyes.

tú's eyes suddenly snapped to hers. Vertin jumped this time.

"Sorry." Vertin said without thinking, almost spilling her cup after the sudden motion. She felt her face flush. "I-I didn't mean to stare. I was just… curious, that's all."
