"I've always wanted to ruin something beautiful..."
Maxine stood, without the help of the girl reaching towards her, she set down the coffee on the counter, afraid of spilling it again, her hand was shaking, more with anxiety than fury. "I'm sorry, for spilling coffee on you," she told Nikki, her voice roughened as she mentioned Robynn, "But I'm afraid I was tripped by apathy," she told her, more or less referring to the girl's companion, she walked quickly past them both, and out the door. On the street, not away from the sight of anyone, but away from the sight from the most recent she had communicated with, Maxine dumped two small pills into her palm, and popped them shakily into her mouth. She quickly closed the bottle with a snap, and dropped it back into her purse. She stood for a moment, feeling dizzy, her stomach aching with the nervousness that had overtaken her within the laws of the library.
But it didn't matter, it was past her, she told herself, she was on the street, a piece of the day over. Why let occurances of the morning shadow a perfect Saturday? The weather was perfect, nothing could be quite better.
Clouds, those hadn't been there a mome-- rain.
"Damnit," Maxine whispered softly, angry, though not even particularly at the rain. Nor at the fact that she didn't have an umbrella, more or less, she simple knew it would prove an imperfect day. How unfortunate. Maxine sighed, not entirely sure of where to go, except back to the cafe, but she knew she would find no comfort there. She shoved the small novel into her bag, and stepped back under the overhang outside of the library, out of reach of the drizzle that strengthened into a steady fall. Maxine sunk down, sitting down with her back at the building, watching the clouds, and hoping they'd pass. If it didn't lighten up, of course, Maxine had no problem with walking in the rain, she simply didn't prefer it.
She glanced down at her attire-- it wasn't the best for being poured on.
