Scarlette steps in to Kai’s welcome with an easy laugh; Mike isn’t here today and the Dodgers lost in his hometown, a running joke at the door. She powers down her phone on request—“You know the drill”—and grins about skipping work to be here, saying it’s worth it. Tyler got introduced yesterday and Jonte before that, a little breadcrumb trail of faces she already knows. She settles into the spotlight of attention that Kai keeps on her—teasing, playful, quick to giggle. Compliments stack up—“sweet, lovely, kind, smart”—and she drinks water between jokes, planning to “waterfall it” while everyone laughs. Curiosity runs both ways; she answers straight, invites more, and keeps eye contact that warms the air around her words. Little sounds, soft breath, a hand through her hair—she leans into being seen. In the quiet after, she gathers herself with a soft laugh—“That was fun”—and reaches for her things. A final thank-you at the doorway, another small laugh, and she slips out, leaving a glow of mischief and the promise of coming back for more.
