"I can't right now."
"Oh. Of course, I don't expect you to do it right now. I can wait until a better day." Actually she did expect him to walk outside with her as he didn't seem particularly busy. But maybe he had plans she'd interrupted with her impromptu visit.
"I'll come over, maybe later today." Although he looked at her as if he was a starving man and she the last ham sandwich on the planet, he did not move, instead remained frozen behind the kitchen island, his untouched drink in front of him.
It was time to leave. Tesha wondered how she could make a graceful exit. She couldn't figure out if he was bothered by her visit and wished her gone or if perhaps this would be a good opportunity to invite him over for a meal and maybe get to know him better. She did a quick scan of the surrounding spaces. No woman's touch anywhere. He was definitely not in a relationship.
