Re: 1203
Her breath hitched, just a quick unsteady jump, and she bit down slightly on her lip as she tried to think of how to answer. She had been sleeping, just not particularly well. Whether it was the unfamiliarity of the house or the recent circumstances that had brought her there, she was waking up multiple times at night. But to complain would have been unbecoming. She wanted him to think the very best of her and so it was much easier to slip into her usual response. "I'm fine." She even laughed a little, warm and soft. "Just life in the city plus finals. It's normal."
She didn't get any closer but instead peered curiously through her dark eyelashes, studying his face. "How have you been?"
