[Yoko doesn't waste any more time. She dials Kevin's number and leaves a quick message on his answering machine. Then she takes a few deep breaths, looks at herself in the mirror, and heads out to the meeting place. Like Katusya said, sometimes you have to push past the uncertainty. And this is one of those times

Kevin shows up about half an hour later. He looks confused; his skin is fading back to pink-ish from what looks like a ridiculously thorough shower, and he's still kind of pruny. He smells very strongly of soap and cologne.

He waits on a bench, reading the newspaper, a teeny little bit anxious.

"...Kevin?" Yoko's standing in front of him with two of those travel cardboard coffee mug things in hand. She smiles at him briefly before nodding at the empty space next to him. "M-may I sit down?"

It's obvious that she wants to say something. And whatever it is, it's big. Reeeeally big.

He looks up and closes the newspaper, nodding. He forces a smile.

"Sure, sure.

You look nice."

Well... coffee. Was that a good sign?

Yoko sits down and hands one of the travel containers to Kevin. "I-it's black. I hope that's okay?"

She blushes a little at the looking nice comment. "I-I felt like wearing this. It's a nice day, so..." Well, it is pretty warm and balmy for that time of year. Makes sense!

"...Kevin? There's something I-I've been meaning to tell you. For a while now."
