@malgoode,
caroline watches as ben fades from view, hand in hand with the walking blueberry, and narrows her eyes. something about the whole thing feels off, which has less to do with where his new girlfriend came from and more about how fast they had hit it off. ben was a bit of an idiot when it came to love, that caroline was intimately familiar with (she still remembers the fight they had gotten into when she warned him about dating audrey) but the way this had all played out seemed a bit strange even taking into account ben’s typical lovesick tendencies.
she turns to the other person who had come to see ben and evie off, recognising that they were probably playing very similar roles for their best friends. “they seem happy.” caroline remarks innocently, a plastic smile on her face. “a little bit weird, don’t you think? since they only just met each other and everything.”
