cosmo pushes up on his toes—wobbling as a result of an attempt to be subtle—and looks, for a moment, as if he might huff a comment about the measly inch of difference between them. he smiles instead and lowers himself onto one heel at a time.
‘ i thought you might not see it, and here you are, leaving without it. ’ he tips a hand of gratuity her way, then wrinkles his nose at how needy it comes across, despite humble intentions. like a good deed doesn’t count if no one’s there to see him do it. ‘ i swear, if you thank me, i’ll feel worse. you were swell. thank you. ’
