Pausing in front of a big clothing store, Eva leaned in towards the glass and struck a pose with her face tilted gracefully to a side. She wore a plain white sweat shirt tucked inside her dark blue skinny jeans along with a pair of black ankle boots. Her hair was swept to one side and kept in a single, loose braid with a white ribbon going around it. It was one of those days that she felt like dressing up a bit and despite not being a narcissist, she winked at her own reflection in appreciation before continuing down the street.
She didn’t need to walk long to bump into Raina either. The blue haired, tall woman was already carrying a bundle of water samples in her hand when Eva found her near a junction. “Raina!” she called out but the woman didn’t turn to her until Eva grabbed a hold of her shoulders. Raina was trying to pick up another bundle of water samples and failing miserably thanks to her weak hands already carrying a few. “Oh! Sorry, I guess you are one of the two people that will be helping me today,” she panted. “if it’s alright, can you carry the other bundle of water samples for me? My lab is only a couple of blocks down,” she moved back so that Eva could access the water samples. She picked it up with both of her hands and shrugged when Raina threw a surprised glance at her for being able to carry it with ease.
Raina didn’t utter a word after that as they walked to her lab. She was bus keeping an eye on the water samples so that they won’t drop or spill. Eva, on the other hand, was looking around here and there and through the thin glasses of shops just for fun. She stopped one step away from Raina when they reached a small, blue building with a dolphin shaped sign hanging over it. Eva couldn’t get the time to read it when Raina quickly nudged her towards the lab. “Quick now! We don’t have all day! When will the other one get here?” she all but asked in one single breath when she placed her bundle of water samples down and quickly took the other bundle away from Eva. “Soon”.
