Zelda was startled into a smile, although she found she couldn't look at the buttons he was redoing or she would be overtaken by her embarrassment. "If it's a bad time I don't have to stay," she said, although - what else could he possibly be doing? They might as well have this onversation, and come what may.

Honestly Zelda didn't know what to expect; he had said that he was saying goodbye to her, but she did not fully believe it.

"I decided to come after work," she explained, shedding her jacket. If Alfred was only recently buttoned, then it was odd if she was wearing outerwear, right. She left it hanging over her arm, because of course she immediately didn't know what to do with it.
