Her Other Friend ✨

"Just a friend!" is what she said. But he called her things like 'honey' and 'darling' so easily you found that hard to believe. She changed slowly: just small things. New scarf, new earrings, her makeup done just a bit better. 💅 A noticeable spring in her step. 😏 Books no longer clutched to her chest like a shield. 📚 But it's not just her appearance. She suddenly manages to maintain eye contact when talking. She plays along with jokes, instead of being stunned. And William just maintains his smile. As if he knew something you didn't. She owed you nothing... but you weren't buying that they were just friends. ------ No inner self for this one, but I might change my mind.
