Penelope shrugged. "I don't restrict my peppermint intake to a season. Hazelnut's not bad, either, though." She stuck her tongue out jokingly. "That's why I ordered you a latte and not a real coffee. Knew you weren't man enough for it."
After regarding him for a moment, she responded. "Quite the contrary actually. This is completely a social visit as it has nothing to do with business." Penny smiled weakly; she'd been hoping he might just drop it and not want to know. After all, he'd exited her apartment quickly enough when the subject was brought up. Her delivery hadn't been too good at that time, though. "I'm not certain you really want to know. You might think I'm a bit mad. Since I have a feeling you'll probably insist on hearing it anyway..it was about us. I told Charlie I wasn't certain if I had any residual feelings for you," she explained, blushing a pleasant pink colour. "Needless to say, he was not pleased."
