I let her go and take a step back, but keep her trapped in the corner.

"We have to get to work..." Amanda murmers. "I'll talk to you after work. I.... promise"

Amanda holds out her pinky finger to me, and dumbfounded, I wrap mine around hers. "I don't break promises" she says solemnly. With that she pushes past me and walks away, leaving as confused as ever.
