"Adam, wait!" She jogged to him, ignoring the glances of the departing guests. When she caught up, she swallowed hard and tucked her hair behind her ears. She hadn't figured out what she'd say when she finally got to him. "Hi."
He stared at her as if she'd spoken some alien language, or recited the alphabet.
After several seconds of continued silence, he started to turn away.
"Adam--"
"You didn't have any words for me then," he said, his back to her. "And I don't have any for you now."
Okay, I deserved that, she thought.
