Valera was surprised to hear Ryan was eating with Natalia. She still didn't like that woman...
Valera should know that Calleigh wasn't the type of person who would speak what's in her mind. She glanced at Calleigh, wondering what was beneath the cool surface. There was a hint of something in her voice when she said Natalia's name.
"Yes, I'm off..." Valera was changing her shoes, "And in need of a warm long bath..." She smiled. Feeling the cold concrete on her feet for a while, after a long day, they felt stiff. She couldn't wait to soak them in warm water.
Suddenly Calleigh asked about what she thought about Josh. Just like that, out of no where. Valera looked up to her, trying to read from her expression. What was she supposed to say? To be honest, personally she didn't like Josh, but she didn't think she should tell her that, right? And that wasn't even fair, she didn't know him enough to judge him.
Why would Calleigh be asking her that?
"I think... he's pretty tall for a guy." She said jokingly with a grin. Humor, a nice way to avoid the question. Calleigh was smiling but giving her the 'seriously?' look.
"It seems to me that you're happy with him." Valera finally said. Are you? Trying to read if her sentence had hit the intended spot. "And if you're happy, that's what matters, Cal..." She waited for her reaction. Don't you realize? It meant one thing, Calleigh wouldn't be asking the question if she was sure. What was she wasn't sure about Josh?
"Why are you asking?"
