Early America

Isa

I sigh, "I wanted to start over, Will."

Will

I glance up at her, "Why couldn't you have just said that? I'm not... I can't connect the dots like most people do. I've been away from humanity too long to be able to do that anymore."

Isa

I don't respond, looking down.

Will

I study her, hesitating before walking to the table she's at and sitting before her.

Isa

I look up at him, "Hi."

Will

I flash a smile and shake my head, looking down, "Hi."

Isa

I study him before looking down as well.

Will

I play with the frayed part of my jacket again, sighing, "How have you been anyway? I never asked that..."

Isa

I sigh, "Busy. You?"

Will

I shrug, "I don't know how to describe it."

Isa

I nod but don't say anything more.

Will

I glance at her, studying her, "You work now?"

Isa

I nod, "Twice a week."

Will

I nod back and look down again.

Isa

I study him, sighing.
