[ The words hurt, they do, but it really shouldn’t. She flinches a bit even when she realizes that he has said it to ultimately be kinder to both of them. It is much easier to keep distance, not to fool her into thinking that if she ever saw him again that he would treat her the same, and to cut himself loose from any responsibility of her.
Still, she’d like to think she can repay him in some small way, but her skill set is woefully little and she doesn’t think he’s interested in half of what she can offer. Not with the way he recoils with even a simplest touch. She’s fine with that; her stomach churns just from the thought of offering.
She tips her head forward in respectful acknowledgment, taking that as her cue to leave. ]
Of course. Thank you for everything, Mr. Silver. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
[ Alex wanders away through the crowd, with her water bottle clutched tightly in her hand, extremely careful to give everyone the widest berth she can manage. ]
