Autumn was worried that Calum wouldn't show up, but in the back of her mind, she knew he was. She smiled in relief once she saw him walking to the door, "Thank god." she said. Calum seemed as if he didn't notice her at all, because he still wasn't smiling. Calum thanked Michael, handing him the three dollars. When he turned around, he finally saw Autumn. She smiled, "Hi." she said. Calum sent her a small smile, "Hi." he said as he sat down across from her.

They didn't speak to each other after that, they sat there, simply enjoying each others presence. But after a while, Autumn looked away from the window and looked at Calum. "You know. . ." she trailed off. Calum looked at her, gesturing her to continue. "You never told me much about yourself."

Calum smiled, "There isn't much to about me to know about."

"And why's that?" Autumn asked quietly. Calum looked at her for a while, hoping she would get the hint. "I haven't really gotten much more interesting since I got here." He spoke.

Autumn let out a small sigh, "I know that's not true. You seem like the type of guy who has many hobbies and interests in his life."

"I drink the same type of drink every morning, I stay in my apartment, and work a part time job at a music store. There's nothing interesting about that, Autumn." He chuckled. She smiled slightly, shaking her head.

"We can stay here all day while I figure you out, or we can go for a walk while you tell me your story." She smiled slyly. He looked at her, raising his eyebrow.

"You're different, Autumn. But I love that about you." He spoke, placing his hand on hers. Autumn blushed, feeling the butterflies erupt in her stomach.
