✿ “-Mr.Kaufman?” Well, wasn’t this quite the unfortunate surprise? Not that Mio had come to expect anything else from the unlucky streak that she simply couldn’t seem to break. Besides that, in a town as small as Morioh, it was only inevitable that they’d meet each other outside of school grounds.
Still, knowing all those facts didn’t help ease the tension running between them in the least. While had nearly turned up her nose at Elliot’s initial offer, but the borderline ridiculous amount of groceries that she’d stocked up on easily tempted her into nodding her little head.
“Yes,please. My hands are a little full, so I’d very much appreciate any help I can get.” Laughing out half-heartedly, the girl would shuffle herself behind Elliot’s shadow and hold her breath. “Shall we get going then? I’ll be following behind you, so there’s no need to worry about me.” Who knows? Maybe this time around, nothing bizarre would happen. Maybe.
———❝ Here, let me help you with those. ❞ The man reached out to take some of her groceries, waving her towards a parked BMW. How a teacher could afford a luxury vehicle like that, one could only wonder.
❝ How are your English studies going… Will you be ready for my quiz this Monday? ❞ The man smiled, hoping his humor got through his accented Japanese. Dropping his bags in the trunk, the man opened the passenger door for the young woman. His car smelled faintly of smoke, a scent the man carried around with him through his addiction.
❝ Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette before we go? I don’t want to seem rude and smoke with you in the car. ❞
