Re: Cassie~
Cassie had spent a pretty busy day. She'd arrived early with Billy and coaxed him onto the bumper cars, then spent some time with Pepper and Happy playing games, then on to the kissing booth for a hug and kiss from Steve. Then hamburgers and cake and more games and walking around as a representative of Stark Enterprises gathering public opinion of the event. That task had been passed on to someone else after twenty minutes and she'd headed for the cotton candy stall and it was while waiting in line that she'd seen Tony wander past and felt- as she usually did when she saw Tony these days- a tinge of shame.
It was so awkward now around him, especially at work. She wasn't sure if he was still angry at her, or if he'd ever been really angry, because really it had been all Cassie's temper. By the second week of being angry she'd become little more than annoyed and pretty soon she was down right sorry and remorseful and she really wanted to apologize for being such a, well, teenager. It wasn't Tony's fault, her Dad was just such a thing with her and it was hard to put it into any kind of perspective. She hadn't really got a chance to tell him though because every time she'd got an opportunity at work she was interrupted by a phone call or an errand and she had to scurry away feeling totally stupid. Outside of work she hadn't sought him out because she was so afraid she'd be bothering him and what if he didn't even want to accept her apology? She probably wouldn't if she were him, and when she thought of what she'd said she always felt worse- even if it was all kind of true, but it hadn't been the right way or time to say any of it.
Now though, now was a perfect opportunity because he was alone and looked sort of restless and it was a public thing and it was a party so she couldn't really bother him here. Cassie finished up at the booth and went after him, cautiously approaching the bench with an apologetic but guarded expression and two cones of cotton candy, one blue and one purple. The purple she wordlessly held out to him, with all the solemnity of one making a proper and valuable peace offering.
