It'd been a few days since she'd been at the public library, and yet she hadn't quite recovered from the embarrassment that had made her flee in the first place. Every time she thought of the way she'd cried and then misconstrued Calvin's offer to stay, she wanted to groan and cover her face. The incident had kept her away from that side of Hartford, but eventually she realized to avoid Calvin forever meant never seeing him again, and that wouldn't do. There were too few people left to do something like that, and Calvin was probably her best bet at someone who would get her dumb jokes, so of course she had to go back.
She had removed her gas mask shortly after entering the library, and unlike last time, slowed down once she saw the light streaming in from the large window where Calvin had set up what Terri assumed was his home base. Lifting her hand slowly, Terri took a deep breath and knocked on a nearby bookshelf to alert Calvin that someone was there. "Calvin? Sorry to bother you, but ... it's Terri. Hope I didn't catch you at a bad time."
Terri let out a breath of air once she couldn't hold it anymore. There was no turning back now, and all she could do was actively avoid making a fool of herself again, which was not as easy as it sounded.
