🔎 Let’s put your intuition to the test! Which story do you think this excerpt is from?
..: Character A draws Character B into his arms, and he holds her. It's perfectly comforting, an embrace that's firm enough to be meaningful but not too tight. She sighs into his chest and places her hand there, over his heart.
Character A: You okay?
Character B: Yeah. Yeah, I am. It had to happen, you know? Are... Are you?
Character A: ...He's my best friend. Or, he has been. For a long time. And... And I've always respected him, but...
Character B: You've got to draw a line somewhere, and I want to live a normal life, you know?
Character A: A good life. Me too... I'm going to miss him, but sometimes, people just go different directions...: He releases Character B, and they smile at each other. It feels good, that they have this similarity. That they're simple in the same way.
