Sarah felt the stirrings of panic when Toby started to walk back toward her, torn between acting like nothing had happened and expressing quite clearly her distress with the entire situation.
She had resorted to sitting on her hands in keeping with the former as she offered a nod. "Yeah, no, I'm fine." And immediately after the words came out, she was sure her face looked about as convincing as the words had sounded and she sighed, flopping back into the couch as her hands were released, and with them, the word vomit.
"Jack just told me that your Mom's going to hate me and everything I stand for and then walked off like he'd told me the sky was blue." It tumbled out a little faster than she'd planned- not a big surprise, honestly, but at least it was out, and when it came to Sarah, better out than in.
