Thread: Change in Plans (AlureNova and Minderbinder)

Oh, thank you, The girl would reply with a quick smile and glance, turning back to switch her car out of park. She never had been much of a fan of it herself, it'd always seemed a bit too fairy tail-ish. Even still, she couldn't complain. It wasn't as thought it was completely out of the ordinary. Gently easing her foot down upon the pedal, the car's wheels hummed to life as the vehicle slowly began to grind its way down the gravely road. You're name is lovely as well. It's unique, She hadn't heard of a Sera before, or at least one who had her name spelled in such a manner. It was certainly odd, though Alice herself was hardly going to judge. It was a nice name, and seemed to roll off the tongue remarkably well. Shifting her attention away from her passenger for a brief moment, the girl allowed her eyes to fall back onto the deserted road. The woods that surrounded them seemed to be closing in ever so slightly, the sky above taking on an orange hue as the sun began to dip below the trees. She fidgeted ever so slightly in her seat, finger tips drumming along the wheel. She'd spent most of her life in New York, among the throngs of people. She was used to the noise, the roaring of engines and the din of thousands speaking in unison. Alice, on the hand, was not used to the near silence that seemed perminate her surroundings. Even the steady thrum of her car engine wasn't enough to blot out the uncomfortable stillness around her. And, what Sera said next, did little ease the growing sense of apprehension in her belly. Oh, um, She tried to force a smile to her lips as she heard the compliment, though it didn't quite her eyes. Casting the dark-haired girl only a quick-second glance, she'd respond after a moment, ...that's, um, that's sweet of you to say, A nervous chuckle escaped her lips, My last roommate said I looked like a ghost, was afraid I going to melt in sun, She knew that what the woman said was just a compliment, but even then that didn't exactly make her feel any better. The comment, mixed together with that odd little smile from before, was enough to stir up a hint of red upon Alice cheeks. This was getting weird, a bit too weird for Alice's own tastes. Once more, she wanted to chalk it all up to sleep deprivation, but even then that did little to ease the sense of apprehension. I'm, uh, I'm sure you'd look fine in white, The girl spoke, I mean, your quite pretty yourself, Her own eyes wandered a bit as spoke those words, taking a moment to allow her gaze to linger. She hadn't payed much attention back when she'd been doing the bags, but now...? That shade of red on her cheeks grew all the bolder, and with a rather awkward look Alice was quick to snap her attention back to the road. She didn't know what she was doing, why she was finding double-meanings in whatever the girl was saying. Maybe she should've been worried if her passenger was a male, but that obviously wasn't the case. She knew that it was possible that Sera could've been batting for the other team, but even then that hardly mattered. Alice, herself, only had eyes set on Liam. So she told herself. Sorry if I...I seem a bit weird, The girl nearly mumbled, I guess the lack of sleep is finally starting to catch up to me, She forced a laugh, trying to play it off as something like a joke.
