 Sardines ♥ // Nomsy, yo ❄ rolling in the ink ❄
Oh… oh, no. He was floundering a bit, wasn’t he? She tried to speak. Really, she did. But the lump in her throat was lodged in tightly and she couldn’t get it to shift. That was, until he mentioned unspeakable business and she realized he was, technically, a coworker. And then he actually met her eyes again, however briefly.
Finally, her voice returned and she sat up a bit straighter. “Noah,” she said again, as if trying out the name on her tongue. It’d been too long since she said it. It felt good, though. His presence alone brought her a sense of comfort that she hadn’t felt in a long time.
It was terrifying.
The urge to run away gripped her again. This time, she used the energy to propel herself off the bench and into his bigger frame, whether he was ready for it or not. Her arms wrapped around his middle, squeezing him in a hug that, honestly, she probably hadn’t given anyone since the last time she’d given one to her best friend. Noah.
“It’s good to see you too,” she mumbled into his shoulder.
