[ When she reaches for the milk, Peter kind of figures that was her intent all along, and that he just happened to be a clumsy idiot in her way.
But when she provides that explanation, he freezes for a second. Just— kind of stares at her, completely taken aback. He wonders, for a second, if she's just that nice, or if he looks just that bad.
Either way, he recovers, taking a quick breath and putting on a small, brittle sort of smile. ]
I'm sure the clerk will appreciate not having another mess to clean.
