Date: Oct 2, 2011 Characters: Harley Jordan, Anyone Else Location: Park bench Status: Public Summary: Harley studies in the park. Completion: Incomplete
He'd randomly decided to work in the park today. Songwriting was just not going to happen in his apartment. Might as well enjoy the weather before it got cold. Though it was damn sure taking its time. Seriously, where the fuck was fall?
Looking around for a free bench, he spotted someone familiar looking. "Oh," he said out loud, realizing that it was the woman from the auto shop. "It was Harley, right?"
Harley had her head propped against one hand, trying not to doze off. Textbooks were pretty good bedtime stories, but she wasn't enough of an idiot to fall asleep in a public park and open herself up to whatever and whomever. This part of Ft Worth might be a long way from her old neighborhood in DC, but she wasn't ever going to not watch her back.
She glanced over when someone addressed her by name, dropping her hand from her now-tousled hair. That kind of thing usually put her on edge, but once she saw the guy her face lit with recognition and she sent him a nod. Wasn't too rare for her to run into customers. "Yeah, hey. It's uh, Tay-something, right? Taehyun. With the funky door. How's that treating you?"
Taehyun chuckled. He kind of got a kick out of it when people had a hard time remembering his name. Flying under the radar was so nice for a change. "Her fiance just bought her a new car, actually," he said, perfectly masking how fucking much that irritated him. "Kind of a shame. It could have lasted her a lot longer. How're things at work?"
"Good deal," she said with a nod, half glad that they hadn't had to deal with that problem after all. Reen's wasn't exactly a body shop, even if the challenge would've been pretty cool. "Feel free to bring it to me in case you get whipped into bringing the new one in for an oil change." She lifted a brow and swung her legs down from across the bench, closing her book gratefully. The guy'd seemed like kind of an uptight type that day, but she was especially game for some company right now.
"Need a seat? I know I was kinda hogging it." She shrugged. "Work's work. There's always stuff to do. What do you do, anyway?" It occurred to her she'd never found out. Didn't always come up with customers unless they were talkative enough to volunteer the info.
