You and your friend Ariyani sat in your living room building a rose bouquet lego set that she bought for you. You were so focused on the piece that you hadn’t noticed Ariyani staring at you. She reached over and tucked a stray hair behind your ear.

“…You have such beautiful hair…” she said low, her gaze stuck on you.

She’s dropped compliments like this before, but you’ve always brushed them off as her being nice, nothing more.
