“I have news for you.” Both cups of coffee are placed at the table they’re sharing, his still warm hand from the drink lightly squeezing her shoulder. “Good news, I’m hoping. At least I think they are.” He finally sits down across from her, playful smile on his lips as he retrieves something from his bag, careful to not be too obvious with his excitement. Finally an envelope dangles from two fingers, waving it teasingly in her face. What could he say, he was in a good mood. And for good reason, as well!
“This here is for you. I haven’t opened it, yet, of course.” Ben quickly adds before she might think ill of him - he’d never invade her privacy in such a way! “But I am privy to what is in there. Professors talk and, well...” A shrug before he finally slides the thick envelope across the table and towards her, eagerly awaiting a reaction as dark eyes flit from the papers to her - his friend, he reminds himself - admiring what he’s sure is soon to be an even brighter smile.
