But really, telling him to not be any closer to her isn't much better okay? It's not that she's doing her job, it's that she's trying to keep him away from her. What's a little closeness when just doing their work?

"Why did you wear your favorite shoes to a pool?"

That's really the much more pressing question than her not wanting to talk with him. He's ignoring that look, reaching down to shift the waistband of his swim trunks, and instead inches closer. They have a past, and it's a past full of him being slightly annoying to her and even if all they have is a friendship he sees no reason to not indulge his old habits. There's too few people still alive that he can do that too.
