Message her.

That same shaking and trembling returns to your hands as you type out your message to Terri, while you're packing up your stuff. As you make your way down, Gus catches up to you in the elevator and hooks his arm around your shoulder. "So... me old buddy, old pal," he begins, giving you the widest smile he can muster. "How's Sarah settling in? She, uh, doing okay? Need, uh, someone to show her around? You know you can always ask me to take her off your hands for you if you want."

If only. Prying his hand off of you, you give him a very tight smile. "Thanks for the offer Gus, but uh... I think I can handle it. She's settling in well enough. She's got friends taking care of her, and uh... I'll keep that in mind. Thanks." An angry frown flashes on his face, but with a twitch at the corner of his eye, he nods at you, before taking a step away from you and staring straight forwards. A tense air fills the elevator as it makes it's way down.

But, when the door ding open, he springs back to your side and whispers in your ear, "I'm gonna ask her out tonight. So, don't be surprised if you see me having breakfast with you guys." Putting a hand on your chest, he almost pushes off of you to get out first, and with his head up high, and a cocky, confident lope in his step, swaggers out the building, past an expectant looking Terri, who is getting up from her seat in the waiting area.

Rushing over to you, she gives you a coffee tumbler and a quick hug before turning back. "That was that Gus guy right? Where's he going? He looks like a man on a mission or something."

"To find Sarah. He wants to ask her out," you say, sniffing the sip hole on the cap. "Is this my usual? You didn't go home? You went to the shop?"

"Find Sarah? So that means she's not home?" she counters, a hopeful lift in her voice.

Sighing, you shake your head and start walking, with Terri hanging off your arm, looking through your memory for what you can get for dinner for the both of you because Selas has stuffed your fridge with things that you can't even recognize as edible, let alone as food.
