Hello! Lorena and J.D. (Frostbite’s MCs) have been gnawing at my brain since last night, so have a quick snippet that’s so far off I can barely see it at the end of the tunnel 😅
(If you’re familiar with @awardenandacrow I am simply incapable of writing things in order)

SNIPPET ONE
[the first time they really choose to hold hands]
J.D. felt his knuckles brush against hers as they stepped through the narrow space. Fuck.
He opened his mouth to apologize for getting so close to her, but then. The tentative reach of one delicate pinky finger, nervous, but intentional. Not trusting himself to look at her, he slowly extended his own pinky and ring finger back towards her, seeking a sign he hadn’t imagined it. Her grasp was loose, leaving space for him to pull away as she wove their digits together. He closed his hand over hers — small, but warm, her grip tightening to mirror his. Swallowing thickly, he finally allowed himself to look over and down at her, meeting that steady, grey-eyed gaze. There was no doubt in her face, even as she softly asked,
“Is this all righ’?”
He nodded. “Yeah, Northerner. This is ‘all right.’”
