“It didn’t even matter tonight.” She spreads her arms, a half smile spreading into something glorious across her face. “I did it. The cute outfit and a cute guy and I didn’t even second-guess myself when I was talking.Andhe liked me. After all that.” Her nose wrinkles. “I actually don’t think I care that he liked me. I just wanted to do it for myself.”
My chest feels heavy.
“I like you.”
She laughs. “I know, Tristan. I like you too.”
Her words make something tumble inside me. She means as a friend, and I do too.
But I can’t stop wondering what would happen if we tried for more.

TRISTAN
Tristan
What do you wear on dates?
Sienna
Tristan
I love you, but this seems like something you should have figured out by now.
Whit
Yeah, have you just been going naked to them or what?
Sienna
I think we would have seen that in the news.
Whit
Probably. Well, TMZ did say he was a seven…so maybe not…
Tristan
Focus!
Sienna
Green sweater, nice slacks. Loafers, nosocks. Suede ones.
Absolutely no tassels!!!
Whit
Yeah, definitely no tassels. Only douchebags wear tassels.
Aiden
Watch your mouth.
Emory
The tassels really do it for me.
