“ ash – ” she sighs . she knows it’s always hard to get him to calm down when he was feeling like this . which was understandable . the most she could do was console him and be there for him … help him feel better and talk him through it .
she walks up to him , pulling him away from the mirror and taking his hands gently . “ look … honestly , WHO CARES what my dad thinks ! his fiance is my life coach . you can’t be any weirder than that . ”
He sighs and closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath. She was right. She’s always right. “Thanks Lyds. I’m sorry I get…crazy sometimes.” He contemplates and then looks at her. God she’s pretty.
“Have I ever told you how beautiful you look?”
she snorts and shakes her head , gloved hands squeezing his . “ thank you… ” lydia didn’t understand why a teenage boy made her feel so … vulnerable . it was almost stupid of her … but it also wasn’t . it was like something out of some sort of teenage rom - com . “ - god, you’re such a sap … it’s adorable .”
He blushes and smiles. “Heh- yeah...” He looks at their hands together and runs his thumb over the edge of the glove. Wait what else did she say? He looks back at her with a mischievous smile. “You think I’m adorable?”
