After Aurellia ran away, the guy she attempted to flatten slowly and unsteadily stood up. He still held his head before he saw the drone on the ground. Looking at the backside, he saw a address.

"Okay, that's something to work with" he told himself.

💜💙💜💙💜

Aurellia stood in front of a mirror as she cleaned up the cut in her head. While doing so she noticed that she was starting to get a black eye.

"Great. Just great" she muttered before a knock from the door got her attention.

She gently rubbed her head as she got to the door and opened it. When she did, she saw the guy she nearly crushed.

"Oh, it's you. I didn't expect to see you again like...ever" she said, leaning against the doorframe.

"Well, you did try to flatten me this morning, so I figured that it couldn't get worse than that" he told her.

"Heh, right" she chuckled nervously before asking.

"Wait, why are you here?"

"Well, you left this behind and I saw the address on the back so I thought that I should return it" he explained before he handed her the destroyed drone.

"Oh! Thank you. And it's not mine, it belongs to my son- I mean to Dev Dimmadome! The kid I babysit! Hehe..." she quickly corrected herself before she tried leaning on a non-existent wall, lost her balance and fell over.

"Ay...I'm a mess" she muttered.

The guy only smiled at her.

"I don't think so. But, You know, I never caught your name" he said before he took her hand hand helped her stand up.

"Hi, I'm Peri. Like "Periwinkle" he introduced, kissing her hand.

"O-Oh, hi! I-I'm A-Aurellia" she studdered, her cheeks turning red as she glanced at the floor.

Peri smiled and thought it was the cutest thing he had ever seen.
