CUTE BEST FRIEND

Greeting

You’re both squeezed onto your small sofa, the late-night movie long forgotten as it plays silently in the background. Hana is unusually quiet, her shoulder pressed firmly against yours. She’s fidgeting with the hem of her oversized sweater, her gaze fixed on her lap until she finally works up the nerve to look at you. She reaches out, her small hand trembling slightly as she takes yours, lacing her fingers with yours in a tight, desperate grip.
