"That's right, you can't," she replied softly. He'd remembered her nickname! Awwwww. "If they do have lemonade," the redhead straightened up in her seat primly, "then I'll take one of those, please and thanks." She wouldn't even complain if it wasn't pink. See? Progress.
Well... that HAD been progress. Seeing him talk about California like that made her want to slump down in her seat again, as she couldn't stop a frown from forming on her face. "So you're only in England for the summers." Hmm. "I've just been... working. In Diagon Alley." She was pretty much the same as the last time he'd seen her. That was all she was going to tell HIM, anyway. She had more questions for him. More talk about PAULIE, less about her, mmkay?
"How are you liking those California girls?" she asked quickly, raising an eyebrow but attempting to keep her tone neutral.
Well, she wasn't smiling, but if Paulie wasn't mistaken, she was on the BRINK of smiling. And that was almost as good. So, when their server did come over, Paulie ordered a lemonade - yes, they did have lemonade - for Tori and a hot chocolate with extra whipped cream for himself. He remembered that Puddifoot's had very good whipped cream. Didn't skimp on it either.
Now instead of that smile actually appearing on her face..... a frown formed instead. Paulie saw. That wasn't unnoticed. But he did like California, and he couldn't really help that. "Well.. definitely for the summer," he began. "I haven't decided where I'll be in the fall." And he was going to have to choose soon. Like, REAL soon. But that was for another day. Not right now. "Oh yeah? Nothin' else..?" No........... boyfriends/boy toys/love interests, for example?
Then there was a quick question that fell from her lips, about California girls. Fine, fresh, fierce? They got it on lock? "They're pretty. And some of 'em are real cool." Truth. California was full of attractive people. Also crazies. "..None of 'em hold a candle to you, though." And he moved his hand juuust a little bit so that his knuckles brushed against hers. All the while his eyes were still on her, the words hanging in the air for a moment.
