In The Eyes of the Beholder

"What happened back there?" Kaia asked once they drove off in the car.

"What do you mean?" Dor asked, turning away from her to the window. "Oh look, we may be stuck in a Traffic Jam. Great."

Kaia continued to tug on his sleeve until he finally turned to her pouting face. Ran instantly burst into a laugh.

"Are you trying to be cute?" He asked, wiping the imaginary tears out of his eyes.

"Yeah," he fixed a strand of her hair in front of her face, "you don't have to try anyway."

Kaia looked at him, startled then went back to her frown, "Don't try to throw me off guard so that you won't have to explain what just happened."

"Right." He chuckled, "Sorry. I thought you wouldn't be able to figure it out."

"You are funny." Kaia signed, not smiling. "Go on, tell me. I have not seen that look on Carlotta's face since years ago."
