Hannah uncorked the bottle, pouring herself a glass of red. She grabbed the class and turned around, leaning on the kitchen counter behind her. The sun had risen high by now, the city having woken up by now. The young woman sat silently for a bit, before taking a small sip as she would nod towards Ace. “I study at the University. I study law.” She nodded, giving a small bow. 

After a few sips, Hannah put the glass down again, setting off from the counter. Calmly she folded her arms, as she would wander around the apartment. Shrugging, she spoke again. “I work at a coffee shop nearby.” Hannah did not mind the job, and her tone indicated just that. Her mornings off work started at the coffee shop too, just like this one had. She enjoyed the place, as it was her little get-away. She pointed towards a uniform hanging on a closet, along with a neat brown apron.

“I’ve not got classes again until a few days, so that’s great.” Hanna nodded with both her eyebrows raised, giving a subtle ‘thumbs-up’ with both her fingers as she placed herself down upon her sofa. “That said, I didn’t mean to keep you if you’d rather be somewhere else. I just wanted to offer a drink over that strange encounter with Derek. I apologize on his behalf, he doesn’t really know his limits, you know?” Hannah offered an apologetic smile.

The light from outside quickly faded away, as the sun had been blocked by the sky outside, in an unusual manner. Hannah looked towards the window, scoffing slightly. “Wasn’t it clear a moment ago?” And just as she said it, the light came back. She tilted her head. “I don’t understand this American weather. At least it’s always cloudy in Canada.” She giggled warmly at that.
