Gray eyes raking over her set her stomach to an anxious twist, though she wasn't entirely sure why. A potential miscalculation, because so much about him seemed soft as his sweater. Not the way he looked at her, though. Not hard, exactly, just... distant. Clinical, maybe. Like a problem.
Either he didn't believe her, or Angie had been a bad name to attach herself to.
As he moved out of the way she spared a glance over her shoulder, following that brief moment of distraction. As far as she could tell, there was nothing there. Maybe there'd been something across the street to catch his attention? Or she might have imagined it, the way he'd looked behind her.
She accepted his reluctant invitation, but as soon as she was inside he was shutting the door behind her and moving past her. "O... kay?" She might have told him that she didn't care for tea, but it didn't sound like an offer so much as an order. Which really ought to have been irritating. "That sounds good," she said anyway. "Thanks."
She followed him, hands still in her pockets, eyes skimming over the house as she walked. It wasn't a small house, but it all felt very... cozy. In a way that made her feel faintly uncomfortable. Her head was still throbbing, and being inside helped a little, but it was still all very bright. Was it normal for a house to have this much sunlight? It smelled like potpourri, and that wasn't helping, either.
"So does everyone need tea?" she couldn't help asking. "Or do I just have, like, a thirsty aura."
