Aurora Blaine has an instinctive reaction to the name 'Autumn Blaine.' She turns around, not knowing why he called her, "What's up?"
In her memory, this is Maverick Knight's first time calling her by her name, which feels unfamiliar, almost making her fail to respond.
She is also wearing a black mask that covers most of her face, along with a hat, leaving only her eyes exposed. Their gazes meet.
Her reaction is seamlessly natural, without a moment's delay.
Maverick Knight replies indifferently, "Nothing."
On the surface, Aurora appears unconcerned, but internally she's suspicious; calling her name out of nowhere under these circumstances is very strange.
Could it be... he's testing something?
Aurora hopes she's just overthinking.
The groceries and snacks fill up a shopping cart. Timothy Knight comes out, while Miles Morgan pushes the cart forward to line up for checkout.
