Nearly proclaiming her excitement, Kate bit her tongue...which hurt more than she had anticipated.
As carefully as she could, Kate slid past Matt and into the apartment. She had considered doing a full barrel side roll to dart past him, but that could go wrong. The last thing she needed was to end up smashing into a table, a chair, or the wall. Everything would be over if that happened.
For now, Kate picked a book up and let it drop on the floor. Now she had to pull his attention back into the apartment from the hallway. That would certainly do it, she thought. There had to be other things she could mess with around the apartment, too.
Being the responsible female friend person that she was, of course, Kate picked up the book to return it to it's home.
