Re: Chris/Alice - sitting area - 7:53 p.m. (completed/closed)
Chris gave Alice a long, careful look, before bobbing his head once more. He'd pushed too far in this particular avenue, and he knew more questions would just backfire on him. Better to step away now.
"Yeah, you're right. Sorry, I don't know why I asked. Just, I guess, making conversation. It was nice to meet you." He smiled and nodded at her one more time. "Next time Kal stops in at the shop, tell him I ordered something with pineapple in it. On him."
And on that note, he proceeded to continue his slow walk to the food table, hoping that no one—Alice most of all—had taken too much notice of their brief but strange conversation.
