Elizabeth popped open her brand new laptop and started quite clumsily using the touch pad to explore. For a while, she entertained herself by trying to learn how to work paint...but then she found the games section. She lost a few games of chess against the computer before seeming to figure everything out and she whooped its butt for the next few games.

She jumped when the phone rang, and became quite awkward feeling as she ceased gameplay so that Marl didn't hear any unnecessary noises- thus forced to listen to the whole conversation again. When it ended, she still felt awkward, so dove back into playing chess. After a few more games, she glanced up at him.

"...he might have heard the engine...with how fast you're driving..." she mentioned quietly, actually afraid to talk to him because she felt like the air got heavy with all of his stress. but..she wanted to say something, to try and not be as caged feeling as she was.
