Clint smiled, listening to how she spoke about the book. She had really enjoyed it and the way she was speaking showed him that much. "So you'd read it all again tomorrow if you wanted to?" He asked. "I usually read books again in a few months so that I forget what happened that way I can enjoy the book again. If I read it a week after, everything is still fresh in my mind so I don't enjoy it as much." He explained, taking a seat across from her at the table. "I'm glad you enjoyed it though. Oh my god, I know right? I was pretty surprised as well. That's good writing though, when a simple book can cause so much emotions in you." He said to her and smiled at her. "No need to be embarrassed. You enjoyed the book and there's nothing wrong with talking about it."

Clint nodded in understanding. "Right, right I forgot I swamped you with so many books." He joked, going along with it. He cut into his breakfast and took a sip of the milk and continued to eat happily. He had a feeling it would be pretty busy today. But if it was raining, chances were they'd close early because of the rain. "I may or may not be home early today." He thought he should at least let her know in case he did or didn't show up early. "What book you planning on reading next?" Clint asked her. It was always nice having someone who shared a common interest with you. Made talking to them a lot easier since you had some common ground.

To be able to watch the second Transformers with her would be really nice. "I'd like that very much Mads." Clint said to her, continuing to eat his breakfast and occasionally glancing at the time. He kept telling himself to grab the raincoat before heading out. He loved rain as much as the next person but he didn't need to go getting sick right now. "Well, whichever book you do end up reading, I'm sure you'll enjoy. Well..hopefully." He admitted. She hadn't really changed much from when they were kids. Except now she was older, maybe a little more shy, but she was still the same girl from before.

Clint smiled, "You know...you haven't changed a bit Mads. You're still the quiet girl from that side of the fence. The shy girl who kept to herself and would miraculously only talk to me." He said to her and finished up his breakfast happily. It was good and would hold him over until lunch hopefully. Maybe he should actually pack his own lunch this time that way he wouldn't have to keep buying it. Standing, he took his dishes to the sink and washed them, then washed his hands and dried them. "I should go get the rain coat now before I forget." He told her and excused himself.

Clint grabbed the yellow raincoat and put it on now just in case. It was then that he heard the sound of a door closing. "Mads?" Clint said, but there was no reply. She probably left to her room to take a nap or to read a book. He figured he'd let her do her thing. In the meantime, he walked to the kitchen and began to prepare himself some lunch. Nothing fancy, just a couple of wraps with some turkey, feta cheese, kale, spinach, tomato, and siracha sauce. Packing his lunch in a metal box. He still had some time before he had to leave so he figured he'd say goodbye now before he forgot. Walking to Maddie's room, Clint looked inside and noticed she wasn't there. The bathroom. She was probably in there. "Umm just wanted to say I'm heading out to work now. I have my raincoat so don't worry, I'll be fine and hopefully I'll be back early so we can watch the movie. If..y-you still want to anyway.." He said nervously. Was she okay? He didn't hear anything, hopefully she wasn't sick. "My number is up on the fridge if you need anything okay?" Clint informed and knew he had to get going now or else he'd arrive a little late. Clint didn't wait for her to answer and just left her room, then the house and hopped into his car to drive off to work.

The pitter patter of raindrops splashing down on the roof of his car was soothing. However, not soothing enough to calm his worries he still had. Maddie hadn't said anything and Clint couldn't help but worry that something might be wrong. However, right now was not the right time to worry. He had to have a clear head for work. If he was too distracted, he'd end up getting himself hurt or someone else. Clint parked his car, killed the engine and stepped out before heading into the garage to be greeted by his co-workers. Boss wasn't in today, apparently he wasn't feeling very well. This was fine, it just meant that Clint had to lock up at the end of the day.

Did this mean they could leave early? No. It meant they had to work until no more cars were being brought in. And with the rain pouring down as it was, chances were not many people would be showing up today. When a few cars started being brought in, it was time to get to work. The men shared jokes, from time to time while they worked. They talked about their days and Clint snickered. It usually wasn't so lively when the boss was around. Probably because the boss was such a serious guy and would scold them for goofing off on the job. They weren't though. Just because they were cracking jokes at each other, didn't mean they weren't focusing on the jobs they had to do. Clint only laughed and shook his head, focusing on checking the air in the tires of one car that was brought it. One of the tires looked a little low though, was it punctured? It was time to check.

Well it didn't look like it was, it was getting the air he was putting in just fine. It did look a little worn though. They all did. Would be dangerous to drive around in the rain with worn tires. "Tires look pretty smooth. Not very safe to be driving around with them in weather like this." He informed the older couple. They looked at each other, debating on what to do. "I'm not saying you have to buy new tires. I'm just saying that if you're tires look the way they do, it could be very easy to get in an accident." He explained, looking at them. "And...you sell tires too?" The woman asked. Clint nodded. "At the back, one of our guys can help you choose depending on budget." He explained, then there was the loud sounds of thunder in the sky and the cracks of lightning could be seen as well. A storm was approaching. Maybe closing early wouldn't be such a bad idea. The woman nodded and convinced her husband to look at the tires. "So you'll change the tires as well?" She asked Clint and Clint nodded. "It won't be a problem Ma'am." He answered.

While the couple was picking tires, he decided to help a co-worker. Suddenly the lights flickered off for a moment before flickering back on. Yeah...this was bad. "Let's finish this up, correctly, and then let's head out. I'll stay behind and close up though." Clint instructed the others who agreed with his decision. Whether it was due to lack of interest or honest concern for their safety was unknown. "Oil's fine." He pointed out after checking. "The light just needs to be replaced." The other male explained. "Is that the only one that's fried?" Clint asked and asked the man to turn on the lights of his car again. "Have a look around." Clint instructed then walked back when the new tires were brought to him. "Alright. I'll change the tires and my friend here, he'll ring you up." Clint informed. The couple nodded and walked with the other worker to the inside of the actual shop to pay for the service. Clint busied himself with changing the tires then.

The men were hard at work, trying to finish quickly but also making sure that the jobs were getting done. The customers all left slowly, one after another until finally it was time to close. "Go on, I'm going to lock up and head out myself." Clint explained and started to shut off the lights and close up the place. He made sure the doors were locked then quickly made his way to the car where he hopped inside, buckled up and started up the engine. Time to head home. Backing out of the parking lot, Clint started making his way back home. The high lights were on at this time, the windshield wipers were on as well, continuously wiping the rain off the windshield so Clint could actually see where he was going.
