Kloe Love knocks on the wrong door and laughs when it's pointed out, rain still on her shoulders. She says she just woke up, apologizes more than once, then keeps a small smile that doesn't quite leave. Inside, she asks if she can keep her notebook nearby—she brought it with questions—and admits she wasn't expecting all of this today but she'll "just flow with it." Talk turns practical and personal at once: she's drawn to a bathing-suit brand, curious about modeling or social media, and calls herself "flowy, happy, bubbly." She says she can make people happy, and when asked about her life, she mentions a breakup about three months ago. Her answers get longer, her laugh quicker; she leans into the back-and-forth instead of waiting for the next prompt. Polite gives way to charged. She sits forward, eyes bright, tossing in little jokes; at one point she even teases with a line about Kai being better than all her ex-boyfriends. The small talk falls away and what's left is a quiet, expectant hush that doesn't need naming. Afterward she's breathless and glowing. She thanks him for today and, grinning, admits how far she's come from the girl at the door. When asked about coming back, she doesn't hesitate: "Um, sure." That promise hangs there—the kind of yes that suggests tomorrow might actually happen.
