The tells are there, she's seen them a hundred times before in the faces of boys and men who found themselves a little smitten with her, but those days are long past now.

"That's real nice of you," she replies with a smile still in place, a hint of shyness around the edges of her expression, "and I'd really appreciate it, thank you."
