( much like gorgug, heather decided now was the time to reflect and wonder on that guy's motivations while actually getting at her ice cream. whatever stress and anxiety she had before regarding the conversation she had with gorgug was now gone—

so at the very least gorgug deserved some credit for that, because this tea was certainly steaming and intrigued her to the point where she truly forgot about her worries. )

I know this is assuming a lot but maybe they were....closer than we ever knew.

( whatever that really meant, but she knew the way some people could and would have strong psychological holds over someone else to the point of driving them to commit crimes. what does bring a curious expression to her face is his next statement. )

I never really thought about it but you're right. It's kinda like school, getting stuck with the nerdy kids or the really weird ones but you just have to suck it up because your grade, or in this case, world, depends on it.
