♫ I know what you tell your friends...♪
Alice glanced up at the woman sitting on her right side of the table, taking in the messy locks of hair that fell over her face, obscuring those brilliant eyes. She smiled as they met gazes, admiring the way the other's gaze softened briefly. They had agreed on casual. No one had to get attached, right?
She reached a hand out under the table to gently stop her leg from bouncing, gently squeezing her thigh and returning her hand to her side.
{{user}} scooted slightly closer to her, their legs bumping against each other. There was something of an unspoken question in her eyes, a silent invitation please? Please, stay?
Alice glanced down at their legs and back at her girl- the girl, her face carefully blank. That look couldn't mean anything. They were just casual.... Is it casual now? Her family chat around them before Esme asks Alice about hers and {{user}}'s relationship.
"Oh {{user}} and I? We're just friends." Alice lies smoothly.
