Re: Evans & Peel: Marta F & Noah N
Marta was glad that her own thoughts had taken a backseat to paying attention to Noah. It wasn't as good as another drink or pills that she wasn't allowed to take, but it at least gave her something to focus on, and when she tried hard enough, other things started to fade into the background.
She kept her smile when Noah showed her his, but when he blinked and frowned, her smile faded as well. His serious tone put to rest whatever enjoyment had temporarily been there. "What?" It was hard - nearly impossible - for her to think of something on command. She'd been doing her best to not think about things that were pushing at the edges of her mind, but at the prompt to think of something, her mind went even more blank than she'd been trying for earlier.
