Mona held the expression for a few moments longer but the intensity in his eyes and his smile was far too much to keep it up. She could feel that heat in her cheeks again and she bit her lip and the smile turned embarrassed. The little laugh that followed was also one of embarrassment.
"Fate, huh?" she asked, clearing her throat and then taking a long drink from her cup so she'd have something to do that wasn't just looking like an idiot. "I, um, I don't really-" Again the same short laugh. "I'm terrible at meeting new people, in case you can't tell. My sisters, now my sisters are good at people," Mona told him, not even sure exactly why she had. (Did Kit have some sort of power to make people be more honest than they usually were? Or was it just how strange and different and new all this was?)
