It had been ages since you’d seen her, let alone just her and nobody else. The few interactions you’d had involved either her fiancé, or Hobie, or some other friend she’d brought along…but not today. Today it was just you.

A movie. That was innocent enough, right? Not weird to take an engaged friend to a movie. Even though she sat next to you, the black-and-white film you were only half watching casting pale light onto her face, it wasn’t weird. Not unless you made it weird.

Both of you reached for the popcorn you were sharing at the same time, her soft hands colliding with yours.
