Summary
The woman taps her fingers against the front desk, clumsy quick. “I have to introduce myself, right? I am Kara, Kara Danvers from Midvale. Hi. Handshake or hug?”
“Handshake,” Lena says, and then sticks her hand out. Kara takes it, carefully, softly, as if she’s afraid to hurt her.
“See, I'm gentle,” she tells Lena. “I can hold the baby chicks. I won’t break them.”
“Okay,” Lena sighs out, trying not to appear too dreamy. She slips her hand off, leading the way to the back of the shop. There’s something happening inside of her- something weird, fluttery, and she doesn’t like it one bit. It makes her hands tremble, and her legs feel weak. “These are them. You can choose any you’d like.”
Kara kneels next to the enclosure, cooing, and Lena doesn’t scurry off to the front desk, no, she ambles, maybe skips a little- skipping burns more calories than walking or jogging or even running, that’s a scientific fact. That’s why- not because of any fluttering feelings or anything like that. Feelings don’t flutter. Unless Lena’s pregnant with a baby and it’s kicking at her belly. That would make sense. God, is Lena pregnant?
