Cecilia!!!!

If there was one thing Roger hated, it was shopping. The crowds didn't actually bother him and it was fine if he had a list. Getting in, getting what you wanted, and getting out: that was his go to shopping tactic. He'd have absolutely loved to do that this time, but his sister was a brat

Cecilia jolted forward, her ankles wobbling slightly by the bump. She straightened herself, spreading out her skirt with the flat of her hands as she turned around to face the culprit. The voice had been deep and decidedly not the type to be in the same shop as handbags, hats and the various other things she figured most straight men didn't want any part of. As she caught sight of the offending stranger, she took a step back.

"It's alright," she said, offhandedly as she tucked her hair behind her ears. "It's a tight squeeze in here."

She raised her eyebrows slightly as she unapologetically took in what was in front of her. Hello.

Before he could help it, Roger grinned and didn't try to hide how smug the expression really was. The front definitely didn't disappoint. He took an extra second to look her over and, okay, shopping wasn't seeming like such a waste.

"Apparently. I'm just glad I didn't manage to shove you into a display. That's not typically the type of impression I try to make.'

"Well, if that were the case, you'd be planning something to make it up to me."

She put her hands on her hips as she looked up at him, surprised to see a bloke these days that was taller than she was. She smiled at him, a cheeky grin spreading across her lips.

"Because that would be just a wretched thing to go to a girl you've just met."

"It would be," Roger agreed with a short nod.

This was actually pretty refreshing. Normally, the girls Roger met were either bland and gorgeous or plain and interesting. Attractiveness and interesting didn't tend to mix in his experience. So far, however, this one seemed different.

"How would I have gone about actually making something like that up to you? Even I'm not that creative and that's saying something." Okay, he talked a big game; it couldn't be helped.
