Heron Lake Plateau awaiting your mistake

...Man, was this ever awkward.

She missed the easy companionship they had shared before. When silences weren't loaded and uncomfortable. She watched him approach and she knew without a doubt that he really wanted to run screaming in the other direction yet forced himself not to. "Hi," she said softly, her demeanor still open and friendly, her body language relaxed. Yes, there was a total clusterfuck of shit they needed to unravel, and it had her every bit as uncomfortable as it did him, but she didn't want to make it worse than it already was. Somehow she felt that if she acted like it wasn't a big deal, then it wouldn't seem like...such a big deal.

More awkward silence.

"Soooo..." she began uncertainly. How's life? Great weather we're having today! The thought of idle small-talk was preposterous. Forget it. She sighed, looking at him almost apologetically, and continued, "There's an elephant in the room that we should probably deal with." Might as well rip the band-aid off all at once, she'd decided.
