I don't blame you...hospitals are never fun. [Sadness touched her eyes recalling the number of nights she spent by Ben's bedside the days leading up to his passing.]
I have my phone on me at all times, and I'm a light sleeper, so I shouldn't miss any texts or calls.
[It was easier to offer to patch Diego up if he needed it. Easier to explain away how she was good with stitches and bandaging wounds compared to some of the skeletons in her closet. Later, she told herself, later she would be honest with Diego and share some of the dark spots in her life.
Hopefully, it wouldn't change his opinion of her.]
Ahh, and here I was thinking you wanted to show off. [Rey teased in return, squeezing his hands again before pulling away. She pushed the basket of rolls in his direction.]
Not a bad idea, but I don't know what I should get. [If she got fish and chips would that be a bit too cliched for the woman from the UK? Plus it was super oily too and could stain her clothes. Her eyes scanned the menu again, ultimately landing on a chicken Cesar salad.
You could eat more, you know. It's okay. Ben's voice drifted through her mind, forcing her to push the menu away from her.
Growing up with limited resources meant there were plenty of nights where she went to bed hungry. Many days when she went to school or work with very little in her stomach. Trying to unlearn some of those bad habits was something she'd have to deal with for the rest of her life. She was doing better at least. She wasn't eating just enough to keep her going, but enough to feel full and satisfied....but if she over ate, her body would greatly protest.]
I think I know what I want. We just need--
Hey guys, finding everything okay?
[Damn, Mike suddenly popped out of no where. Thankfully he hadn't interrupted their conversation earlier. Rey looked over to Diego, waiting for confirmation if he was good to order. ]
I think we're good?
[ooc: Handwave lunch and they head to her apartment?]
