Anger

Scanning the hinges Ryan wasn't sure what ones she wanted to get. Big ones, little ones, and than there was color. Maybe a metal pare could be good and medium size. She didn't want them to be to big and just look strange. 

Taking two packs Ryan turns almost running into Alec again. Looking up at him Ryan's eye lock with his and she can feel her heart start to beat a little faster. His eyes were still like she remembered, so deep but they seemed so empty now good. Giving a little swallow Ryan gives a nod.

   "No need to thank me Alec, its just the right thing to do."

Breaking her gaze with Alec again Ryan looks down at the items in her hands. There was a little sadness at the thought of not being able to link arms with Alec and walk out of there. But she couldn't she was with Tal, she loved Tal and she was happy to be with him and yet....there were those lingering feelings that had been tucked away only to be awaken from Alec's phone call.

Looking up again at Alec and letting out a small sigh Ryan gives another little smile again. Was there more to be said? If there was Ryan didn't know what to say. She always had words in the past to speak with Alec, and now it just seemed off. But maybe she owed him something too.

   "Listen Alec, I'm sorry for letting my anger get the best of me and beating the tar out of you. I shouldn't have and it was wrong. I've really mis..."

Not able to finish what she was saying Ryan's phone rings again. Pulling it out of her pocket and seeing it was Eli Ryan gives Alec a look that says she is sorry.

   "I've got to take this...sorry."

Turning Ryan answers the phone walking to the end of the isle.

   "Would you tell Tal to keep his pants on I'm almost done. Yes everything is fine, would you stop worrying I am a big girl you know."

Getting to the end of the isle Ryan looks up and at Alec again before disappearing from view and making her way down another isle on the long treck to the front of the store.
