[ TOGETHER ] : in a gesture intended to prove to the receiver that they're no longer alone, sender takes their hand and holds it firmly.
even through her closed door, she could hear the entire conversation in the living room. she recognized the voices as caleb and the other girl that’s been over a few times. holly could only hear fragments of the conversation, including her own name a few times, and the apartment door close. that’s when she finally came out and sat next to him on the couch. holly could tell he was upset. she grabbed his hand with both of hers, touching their shoulders together. “look, i’m really sorry.” that’s all she felt like she needed to say. she didn’t want to talk about it more, like he didn’t just already experience it all firsthand. “if you want, i think that rolled up ice cream place is still open. i can run down and get some for us, if you want. on me?” holly didn’t want to let go of his hand but, if he didn’t want to leave, she’d have to let go sometime.
