Why is Flora frowning now?
Zara sits at her desk.
Rain taps the tall window.
A cup of juice wobbles.
Flora lifts paper stacks.
Loose dirt dots the floor.
Her shoe slides on it.
The cup tilts toward carpet.
Zara springs from her seat.
She grabs the cup fast.
No drop escapes.
Flora blushes, embarrassed.
Zara kneels on the carpet.
She brushes away the dirt.
They hold the stack together.
Grey light fills the room.
They chat in small whispers.
Flora sets papers down neatly.
Zara places the juice beside.
Flora breathes, "Thank you, Zara."
A paper corner flutters upward.
They share one soft grin.
Zara steadies the cup again.
