Lost Memories Pt I: (Bring them to my office...)

"May I ask who that was?" Xander asked out of pure curiosity after noticing the silence that had engulfed the car.

The trip wasn't necessarily short and though he wouldn't have minded it if it had been anyone else, with Emilin, Xander always found the silence quite unbearable.

It was as if there were always lingering words, drifting around, left unspoken, yet still making their presence known in the air around them.

It was somewhat stifling, at least that was true when they weren't either both working on something or at the cat cafe.

"Mm, I'll tell you when I find out," Emilin calmly responded as if reporting to a higher up, or more accurately speaking, dismissively responding to a subordinate.

"Is that a riddle?" Xander brushed it off as a joke, not knowing what else he could say.

After all, she either truly didn't know him that well or she simply didn't want to tell him, either way, there was nothing left to say.
