@spooksgrove / she is here with him but they aren’t here together. standing by his side but never touching. laughing at the same jokes but never telling one to the other. easy chatting when they’re in a group and uncomfortable silence when they’re together. like they are now. last ones before heading to sleep. like they had been so often. talking about how the night had been, what they had enjoyed, who they’d been annoyed with. and now, it almost felt like there was nothing to say. nothing ... and yet something so important. how could she even bring that one up without making things between them worse? part of olivia wanted to just get it off her chest. the other part shied away, unsure how he’d react to the news. “no tired?” brunette tries for a little small talk to cut the quietness between them, seeking some comfort in his familiar voice.
