Mastering Charlotte
Richard, for all that he is silent, is listening intently, his eyes swinging from one speaker to the other.
Charlotte doesn't look up from the table, won't meet his eye. "Yup, still my foster parents.... Didn't stay long really. They weren't too keen to have me hanging around." Flushing, she half-looks to me, her eyes slanting sidelong. "I was… I was, er.... a bit of a handful when they had me...."
Richard sucks in his cheeks, eyes crinkling. "No… Really?"
Still talking to me sideways, Charlotte continues, ".... I went back to the City instead, to try to look up some of my old friends, but when I got there, I found it had all been demolished."
