"Not a whole lot, actually," she said with a shrug. "Such is the story of my life lately." Said with a smile, though. Because she wasn't complaining by any means -- she'd rather have not a whole lot going on than entirely too much -- she'd had "entirely too much" before, and she'd like to not go there again. Because going there had kind of involved a rebellion.
She'd stick with the rebuilding, thanks.
"What about you?" she asked, looking at him curiously. "What's up in your life? We haven't talked in a little bit."
