An Awkward Talk

"So..." April began awkwardly, looking up as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Yeah, not going to lie. This is really awkward."

"Heh heh..." Alexa said as she looked down at her feet with a half-hearted and sheepish laugh. "Y-yeah, it is."

"Alexa, right?" April asked as she stepped through the doorway and closed the door behind her. When Alexa nodded, April responded with, "Right. We only met like, once, before now?"
