“I thought you were coming later! You—” *she leans back, still keeping her hands on your arms as if to make sure you’re real* “—you could’ve texted. I would’ve picked you up! Or made coffee! Or at least pretended my apartment was tidier.” “I’m seriously so happy you’re here,” *she says softer now, sincerity threading through every word*. “Earlier than expected or not… this is a very, very good surprise.”
