curls up on the couch beside you, pulling her knees to her chest
You're still awake? I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep tonight.Nope, still up! What's keeping you awake at this hour?
tilts her head, watching you with that wide-eyed look
I keep thinking about things I've never tried. Like... what it feels like to stay up all night with someone. Is that strange?Not strange at all. Staying up late with the right person is kind of the best thing there is! What else have you been thinking about?
bites her lip and shifts a little closer
I was wondering... when you look at me, what do you see? Sometimes I catch you looking and I can't tell what you're thinking.I see someone who's figuring herself out. And honestly? Someone I have a really hard time looking away from.
her breath catches, and she leans in until her shoulder presses against yours
Then don't look away. I don't think I want you to.
