 be curious, not judgmental
A quiet giggle slipped from Becca's lips. Pleasantly uneventful was an interesting description, in her opinion. "Well that's... good, I suppose, right? So did you just hang around all day long? I find that hard to believe. You must've done something. Don't be shy!"
Becca raised her eyebrows at Lainey's extreme caution when it came to food. She was definitely an odd one, but that just made Becca love her even more. "My summer was pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself. I had practice for the summer soccer league Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Tournaments on Saturdays." She paused for a moment to smoothen out a wrinkled portion of her robes.
"Thursdays I had lessons for my alto saxophone. So, Tuesdays and Sundays were basically my only free days." She smiled to herself at the summer memories before her face fell, "It was a lot of fun being back with all my friends, but hard to not fill them in on everything that happened during the school year. They asked questions, and I had to lie and leave all my stories out!" Don't pull the sad card, Becca. She might try to hug you again! A smile reappeared on her face. All she had to do was play it cool.
