FAMANDAKISSESANDFRIENDREUNIONSANDFLUFF (you wouldn't understand. its a fairlie sister thing.)

It's Friday and they have restless-wandering syndrome, so this time it's dinner, at the first restaurant they pass by. They don't remember the name but it's something Italian, the lights are dim and the food is decent enough.

Amanda picks at her salad. Finn twirls his pasta. They are such close best friends, they're able to sit in silence and have it not be uncomfortable. But there's something she wants to say that she's swallowing over and over again. He looks up at her; she's biting her bottom lip. Laughs.

She looks up suddenly, her gray expression gaining color. "What?"

"You're cute."

She goes back to stabbing her salad. "I know," she pouts.

Silence.

She looks up again. "Are you gonna wanna have kids?"

He's startled a bit. "Am I gonna have kids?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah. Amanda, we're not even engaged yet."

"I know. Don't know why you hurry it up already…"

In a moment of searching, he grabs her hand and snatches her promise ring, displaying it in the middle of his hand. Leaning over, jokingly, he says quietly, "Amanda Lynn Lockhart, will you marry me?"

"I'm just asking because…I don't know. I feel like I'm getting old."

"We're twenty-one."

"I…" She's stopped. "I…want to have clarity as to what the future will hold."

"What books have you been reading?"

"You little bugger. It was a question."

"It was a question."

"And I got no answer."

"Yes, you do. Yes. Absolutely. So you wanna get engaged?"

"Soon. Sorry, I'm being whiney."

"Nah. I wouldn't blame anyone wanting to marry me as soon as possible." He smiles. She rolls her eyes.

"Okay."

"Alright."

"I'm finished. Looks like you are too. Let's go somewhere else. It's stuffy in here."

"That means my house to sit on the couch and be bored."

"Yes."

"Alright. Beautiful."

She's starting to get up, grabbing her clutch and then hears that and can't hide that smile. That's one thing that will make her smile, always. He loves that. He just likes things where they right now.

sorry there's no plot and that it's mostly dialogue but i needed something to help my jessie if you want anything else i am here all night rereading isw
