Who was this new face? Why was she here? What did she want? Well, she couldn’t answer his questions if he didn’t ask them.

“Can I help you?” he asked.

“Hmm? Oh. You looked familiar for a moment. Apologies,” she responded to him.

After all, she had unintentionally approached him; the very least she could do was try to ease the situation with a somewhat decent explanation.
