we okay?

I took a bit off time to get my regular clothes back on before I exited my changing cubicle. When I did, Annie was no longer in the changing rooms.

Me: Annie?

I eventually found her by the till with the clothes she had opted for.

Me: Everything okay?

Annie: Yeah, no, it's fine, was an accident, my fault

Me: Soo... were good?

Annie: Why wouldn't we be?

Me: Well, if you are sure...

Annie: I'm sure

Annie was being more curt than usual. However, that makes sense with my accidental flashing not 5 mins ago.

Me: Either way, I can let you use my staff discount on this stuff. My way of saying sorry.

Annie: You have nothing to be sorry about

Me: Consider it me doing my flatmate a favour then

Annie: I can live with that, but I will repay you.

Me: No need

Annie: There is

She made eye contact for a little longer than expected as she said that. As if realising, she suddenly looked away and started fumbling to get her phone out to pay.

Some of the tension remained as we shifted to casual small talk until I had to let Annie out of the shop. I had just finished the cash up when I got a message from Jake.
