i’m spilling all my words (but you keep ‘em to yourself) - chapter 3

“Are you sure? You’ve been so kind to me—I don’t want to intrude on your space too much.”

“Intrude?” Lena questions, genuine surprise taking over her features. “Nonsense. If I didn’t want you here, you wouldn’t be here.” She arches an eyebrow, as if daring Kara to argue with her.

“I know how much you value your privacy and space, so I just.” Kara flushes, licks her lips. “Never mind.”

Lena taps her index finger on the countertop slowly, eyes studying Kara carefully. 

“Sometimes I think I have you figured out, but then other times I think I don’t know a thing about you,” Lena says quietly.

“Huh? I’m an open book. A little too open, I think. You’re the one I have trouble reading,” Kara responds with a smile, and Lena turns quiet.
