[She's well aware that she's smiling at him like an idiot, though she thinks she's doing it in secret. His response only makes her smile grow to become dimpled and warm. It's a little painful, helping him learn how to impress another woman, but he's her friend before anything else and she has no problem being that now.]
What, you? I never would've guessed.
[Her mind goes over the fact that it would be so easy to wrap her legs around him and tug him in close. It's been a while since she's had anyone to have that kind of intimacy with, casual and comfortable.
She bites at her thumb to try and muffle her laughter and hide her smile, but she just keeps on grinning through it. That hand drops away and she glances over to their tea, which still has another minute or so to go.
Her mouth opens to speak, to keep the conversation going, but she ends up meeting his eyes and falls silent. A lump forms in her throat and she swallows it, realizing how into him she is. It's sort of a head over heels situation, and she can't come up with a single thing to say because he's got her tongue tied just by being here. Great.
You know what, maybe the tea's done now. She shifts her hand back to check and ends up knocking over one of the mugs. Smooth.]
