Clarisse's hand is warm where it tucks in against her skin and Abby breathes out, smiles quick on the exhale, lips twitching up. They touched all the time before any of this, ranging from accidental brushes to intentional shoves, and none of it ever made her feel excited like she does right now. Now Clarisse's touch carries a sort of electricity, something she didn't realise she needed. "Don't be. I was stupid too; I can't believe I walked away from you like that."

Like, looking back on it?? She wouldn't have been surprised to find out now that Clarisse was really offended by that. All she could think about was needing to get away from the situation as fast as possible... she was thinking about herself far too much.

"But after I found out I forgot about you I got kinda freaked out. And I was wondering what the point of holding back even was. You know?"
