As I was going out of the quarters to buy some bread and antiemetics, I came across Hopoe, wearing that bright yellow sports shirt and on her bike. Pretty sure she saw me. She turned her head to look if anything was coming but I mean, I don't think she'd miss me, at all. Even if she was focused, I guess the subconscious registers anyway.
I had a reflex that surprised me considering I would've been too scared to do so just weeks ago: my palm just turned up in a slight wave.
We were too far to even consider stopping and saying good evening, but I also did not feel a surge of adrenaline. I also didn't feel any aggression from her.
But just the fact we come across each other again now, I mean we've done so twice today, even if I'm not sure if she saw me the first time, and that recently I've also come across stuff that mentioned her without even looking for it (in the folders), that tells me something.
It reminds me of the beginning when any question I'd have about her, like her birthdate and such, I would find a document that answered it without even looking for it. I was just noodling around in the folders out of curiosity and boredom.
I do hope this is the point where things start looking up for us.
The fact she bikes home makes me think she doesn't live that far away, perhaps even in the apartment that she commented on back a few months ago when she was looking for a new place to live. Who knows if we might not bump into each other while driving or grocery shopping, lol. Or on a walk.
Still am not going to try and look for her, that'd be creepy and I honestly wouldn't feel quite comfortable knowing it without her consent, but... yeah. Makes me think she isn't that far away.
Oh, Hopoe.
