As Summer walked away, Don watched her go and thought to himself, 'She's going to be a tough nut to crack. But at least she's not completely heartless. Now is probably the best time to get to know her a little better since she seems somewhat sorry for me.'
Reaching that quick conclusion, Don closed his door and hurriedly made his way toward the staircase. Just as Summer began descending, he called out from behind her. "So, how was school?"
Summer seemed a bit surprised to hear Don right behind her and looked a little perplexed. She quickly turned away from him and continued down the stairs as she answered, "Why do you care?"
'She's not making this easy,' Don thought, but he kept his expression calm as he replied, "I'm just curious about how your day was. If you don't want to answer, that's fine. Sorry for intruding, I guess."
