Pixie. The little girl Lou talked about so much.
I stared at her. “𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 𝑃𝑖𝑥𝑖𝑒?”
Martha nodded. “Lou used to bring her around all the time. Cute little thing, so tiny and sweet. She got the name Pixie right here in this station. Always laughing and happy with Lou. It’s a shame her mother left. Lou missed that little girl something fierce.” She eyeballed me. “And whatever is going on between the two of you needs to be resolved.”
“What are you talking about?”
She laughed, shaking her head. “You saw her here, and you about broke the speed of light to get to her. Worried she was hurt or something. She watched you like you were her next meal. The sexual tension between you is so thick, you could cut it with a knife.”
I didn’t know what to say to her.
“Were you aware how often you started to reach for her hand as she stood there?”
I shook my head in disbelief. “No.”
She laughed. “Of course not. Instead, you resort to stealing her toys like you’re six, so she’d have to talk to you to get them back.”
“I, ah…”
Martha put a hand on her hip. “Man up, Thorne. I know you’re a loner and like to act like you’re aloof, but I see you. I saw the way you looked at her.”
“She’s my tenant.”
“Who cares?”
That stopped me.
“She’s younger than me.”“Again, who cares? She’s an old soul.” She began to turn away then stopped. “And she looks at you the same way you look at her.”
“I hardly know her.”
“Then I suggest you change that.”
