there’s no reason for her to invite him over. no reason other than ... she wants him here, or maybe she just doesn’t want to be alone, that would be an easier pill to swallow. it’s christmas eve and she was supposed to go home, but every time she thought about it she felt a knot in her stomach that wouldn’t be undone until she told herself she didn’t have to go. but that left her alone on christmas eve, drinking in an apartment she’d spent time decorating, all of those little lights going to waste on her pity party.
but ... inviting danny ... no she couldn’t. she shouldn’t. which just ended up pissing her off enough to pick up her phone, because why the hell shouldn’t she invite her friend over. promptly she tosses it back on the couch behind her. there’s been mild confusion on her end lately. confusion that she can’t have about her fucking cousin’s ex husband. maybe she was just being ridiculous because she’d been at dance rehearsals so often this past month that he was just the only person she managed to talk to much lately. so her brain was being extra destructive for no reason.
it takes about half an hour to convince herself that’s the reason, there’s no r e a l confusion. which means it wouldn’t be weird to invite him over. especially when she knows he was still at the studio an hour ago thanks to his instagram stories.

now that wasn’t so fucking hard was it, elizabeth drops her head back against the couch with a sigh, glaring up at the ceiling as she tells herself it’s just because he was the only one in the city. all of her other friends were busy, her cousins were both gone. in fact if anything he was her last choice, yep, she wouldn’t have reached out if anyone else had been around. if she keeps telling herself that maybe she’ll really start to believe it.
