Really? You'd think that Boston, being one of the more liberal cities in America, would have more of that! [ On the to do list: start a movement for eco-friendly shopping bags. ]

I do think more of the bigger stores should encourage reusing these things! Oftentimes, your own bags are way cuter than whatever paper or plastic they offer.

[He smiles a bit at that. He can't help himself, it's an involuntary reaction that severely cuts into this whole brooding bad boy vibe he has going on. How dare you, Ms. Woods. Only no, keep going, because he's desperately in need of it.]

I don't think that most people around here care quite so much about style.

[175]

[ Don’t fight it, brooding man. The power of blonde compels you. ]

Tell me about it! [ Elle gets the whole Harvard aesthetic. Cardigans and muted, fall colors and tweed and it’s all very stereotypical, but she understands branding more than most people in her program do. ]

Would it hurt anyone to insert some primary colors into their wardrobe? [ Barking up the wrong tree, Elle. ]

[epistemic]

[Hey he wears blue! Sometimes. Blue is totally a primary color.]

Maybe they want to match the trees?

[ Elle gasps, genuine in her astonishment. ] You know... that's totally a possibility.

[ Of course she giggles afterward, wrinkling her nose. ] The new Boston camo.

[He smiles a bit before nodding.]

At least it's less blatantly drab.

[He finishes the stack of books on the counter, before pushing them towards her.]

Check and make sure that's all of it?

[175]

[ That gets a few nods and a titter of agreement from the blonde and she leans forward on the counter once more, sliding her well manicured nails along the spines of the books. Her eyes sparkle. She can't wait to for the semester to start. ]

Mhm. Mhm. That seems to be it! You've been most helpful. What's your name?

[epistemic]

[He glances up, because most people don't bother to ask. They just want to get their books and go. His hands falter for a moment as he starts to load her books into one of her bags.]

Derek. I'm Derek.

[175]

Derek! It's nice to meet you!

[ Elle likes meeting new people. That's how she's always been, even before law school and heartbreak turned her life around completely. ]

Have you been working here long?

[epistemic]

[He shrugs.]

A few years. My sister got me the job when we first moved here. She wanted me to have something to do.
