Rune

“Rune!” Miyu’s voice echoed down the sidewalk as she leaned out of the salon doorway. I’d needed fresh air after spending the previous day stuck in my room at Wilder’s command. And one day was enough. So most of the morning, I’d been on the hunt for a coffee shop other than Mr. Jones’ place, since I was still embarrassed as could be about what his little calming tea had done to me the other day.

I hadn’t been successful.

“Rune,” Miyu yelled again, until everyone who was on the street was looking at her waving her hands around in some sort of weird dance like a crazy person.

“I heard you the first time,” I snarked when I got a bit closer.

“I know,” she said with a wink. “I just felt like embarrassing you.”

“Mission accomplished.”

She snorted and then opened the door. I didn’t work today, so I definitely had time for some girl time if she wanted it.

I’d kind of been…avoiding her. After that whole town hall disaster when everyone had lost their motherfreaking minds, I wasn’t sure what she was thinking about me.

I tried to read her as she led me to a new table set up by the back wall. She seemed perfectly normal though, or as normal as a person like Miyu could be.

“Sit down, sit down!” she ordered as she settled into a seat across the table from me. I belatedly realized what the table was for.

“A nail station?” I asked.

“Yes. Yes. Yes,” she said loudly while doing another little weird dance in her chair.

I laughed in delight as I examined all the tools she had set up. There was a bookshelf behind her loaded with what looked like every color of dip and gel polish that the world could possibly contain.

“Do you know how to do nails?” I asked after a moment, and she nodded before pulling my right hand towards her and began to look over my nails critically.

“Yes I do, and we’re going to do your ugly ass nails right now while you tell me why you’ve been avoiding me,” she ordered.

Busted. I tried to open my mouth to lie and deny it, and she gave me a long glare before I could say anything, like she could see right through me.

I promptly closed my mouth without a word.

Silence descended, and although Miyu didn’t seem to be feeling the awkwardness at all, I was definitely resisting the urge not to squirm around in my seat.

Miyu hummed as she swiveled her chair around to grab a bowl, filling it with some kind of pink colored liquid before setting it down on the table and forcing all of my fingers into it. She finally turned her attention towards me and just stared at me as if daring me to speak.

I folded immediately like a chump.

“I just didn’t know how you’ve been feeling about everything. If you felt the way everyone else in this town seems to feel at the moment.”

“You mean you didn’t know if I thought you were a serial killer?” she asked with an impish smile.
