"Rachel never told me that," Cassie laughed. "Oh, that is very sweet. I'll have to bring it up the next time I see her."
Behind the laughter though was worry as she watched him continuing to use the dog as a buffer between them and to pull away from her. Why? She had been trying to keep her body language as non-threatening as possible, but still he shied away. Admittedly, it wasn't as though he knew her terribly well, but still the reaction confused and upset her. She hid it all behind her laughter though, hoping that he wouldn't see.
"You're learning to fly a spaceship? That must be interesting," she told him eagerly, her voice all positivity. "I'd probably crash the thing." That was very likely true, but if she was completely honest, she'd also take flying as an osprey any day of the week. That was not a helpful response for this conversation though.
She looked out at the garden and sighed, "Well, I think that this is a wonderful use of time. Eva's agreed to let me help her in her garden. I'm hoping to learn a thing or two." She tilted her head and grinned. "Maybe I could start my education here. Could you teach me a bit about how to get a garden to thrive like this one? I'd like to learn."
