         Devin felt a pain at her heart and her eyes lowered to her cup immediately. She felt all muscels in her body grind together as she forced herself to remain calm and still. She almost didn't notice his twitching until she glanced through the strands of her hair. Maybe it was time for her to head out, finish her tea and leave him alone? She felt like all she did was invoke his twitching. He didn't understand her, that was fine. She just felt like she couldn't explain her statement further. Devin finished the remainder of her tea and stood carefully. Her eyes were rimmed with some disobedient tears but she refused to let them fall. "I..."

What was she to say? Apologize for the millionth time? She took a deep breath and sighed heavily. "I'm going to get my hoodie.." Lame excuse, but she did look cold. She didn't feel cold, but she felt it for sure. "I'll be back..." Maybe give him some time, would help. She could only hope.
