Yes she wanted to check out the food table. She definitely, definitely needed to eat something. That was usually most of the reason she went to parties - free food. That and - and other things. She glanced down at Gareth. "You, really? I mean... I eat... a lot. I can just grab something and then we can... can..."
It struck the girl then that Gareth might feel awkward with dancing in a wheelchair and the girl was horrified at not having realized it sooner. She was such a terrible, selfish person. And she was too tall and he was probably just taking pity on her because she was good enough to sleep with, but she was pretty much just meant to be used. Fatima took a deep breath. She'd look ridiculous panicking here and that wouldn't help things at all.
Once again she was glad Gareth couldn't see her face. She headed over to the table with him, resisting the urge to eat all the things. "Hey look! They have brownies! Bet they're not as good as yours!" She did like his cooking. Technically she liked the taste of everything, but food made by a friend was special. And she was kind of at a loss for words. She didn't make small talk very much, was actually kinda quiet when she wasn't bouncing off the walls with coffee.
It wasn't like the things she had to say really mattered.
