Caroline wasn't really sure exactly how her life had become one giant whirlwind of drama. She was still working on figuring it out - on hashing out the whys and whatfors and exactly what all had happened over the last week, and she didn't have words for a lot of it; they'd just moved, and there wasn't really anything else besides that. They'd moved spaces, they'd moved on, she'd changed sort of as a person.
She'd managed to avoid talking about most of the things that'd been bothering her, but she and Klaus had somehow found a good steady state that worked well between them - it was an excellent sort of balance, where neither of them discussed what'd come up when everything'd been settled, but they both moved on with their lives.
That was, until today. Until she'd actually talked to Logan, until he'd told her to break up with Klaus, and until he'd called him a freakshow. Until she'd talked to Erik.
But then there was that tiny bee-dle-beep from her communicator, and it was Klaus, telling her to meet him by the inventory room.
Two seconds. Deep breaths, in and out, because she didn't want to drag him into this, not until she'd figured out her own mind, but then she squared her shoulders and it was a short walk and a turbolift before she walked towards where he'd asked her to meet him. "I'm here," she said the open air - she didn't see him yet, but she knew he'd hear her.

"What is it?" She tips her head to one side, listening just to see if it was something she could hear, and shakes her head when it's not. It's just the hum of the station that's always there. She can't stop the way her lips curve into a smile when his does, and she is so very resolutely Not Thinking About Anything Bad.
She takes a step forward so that she's closer, before she looks around. Whatever it was, she'd assume he'd be able to see it, but there wasn't really anything here that could be a surprise - there wasn't anything she really wanted that she couldn't get herself, unless it was the art stuff he did, but even that wasn't really in the 'surprise' category.
