Taking a seat next to her and breathing in the view of the grey-blue sea lapping at the island, you turn to face Mina and give the girl a reassuring smile. She looks like she could use one!
Matching your gesture with a smirk of her own variety, an idea is roused from your skull as you both trade stares!
Y’know, you begin as the idea forms in your head along with your words, if she and Darren need somewhere to figure things out once this all blows over you might have an idea of where they can go…
The heiress raises an intrigued eyebrow. “... go on.”
It’s <span class="mu-s">SIMPLE</span>! She wants a scenery change, Darren might want a break from athletics: why not work with you at <span class="mu-s">PIZZA MIND?</span> Nothing more honest than bakin’ pies for a living! Hell, if they impress Uncle Emilio enough there might even be franchising options! Not to mention she’d be around some friends-
Halfway through your surprisingly-enthusiastic sales pitch, it dawns on you that Mina’s <span class="mu-i">laughing</span>. Not giggling, not chuckling, not even <span class="mu-i">chortling</span>, but full-on <span class="mu-s">LAUGHING!</span>
It’s refreshing to see, sorta… but also a little scary. You weren’t sure she <span class="mu-i">could</span> laugh… hey, <span class="mu-i">WAIT A SEC!</span>
“<span class="mu-i">S-sorry…</span>” She wheezes as she struggles to regain control of herself and only manages to avoid falling off the desk, “<span class="mu-i">I… I just…</span>”
It’s no <span class="mu-s">JOKE</span>, you growl! She and Darren would be <span class="mu-i">MUCH</span> better coworkers than Rodney would! Well… actually you’re pretty sure you’ve reached an understanding, but he’s still gonna be a jerk, and…
<span class="mu-i">STOP</span> <span class="mu-s">LAUGHING!</span>
>CONTD.
