"Hey there."
"Hi."
"Seat's free here, it seems. Lucky me."
"Mmm, that remains to be seen. My name's Kelly by the way. So are you just fine with Mr. Seven or…?"
"Chester's fine if you don't mind."
"Chester?" Kelly let out a little snort, her lips twitching in amusement which she tried to hide behind her clipboard. "You don't really look like a Chester."
"No?" I smiled, I chuckled, letting her know I agreed, that I understood. "Yeah, I get that a lot. Rest assured though, I'm a Chester through and through.
I huddled closer forward, the legs of my chair plowing the snow below… focusing only forward, only on her, the pink blush in her cheeks, the ribbon in her hair, letting my rising interest completely show for her eyes to see.
"So, Kelly, was it?" I inquired, initiated, too aware of every precious second ticking down. "Lovely name by the way."
