i feel the familiar pull———i am drawn， icarus to his sun. i have been burned already， and yet here i am again.

the weight of max’s arm is sort of comforting . . . until it isn’t . ginny awkwardly laughs & brushes her arm off her shoulder to create some distance . “ um , okay ? what’s your question ? ”

she knew exactly how that felt —— too well , actually. a shrug , taking her arm and wrapping it around the others shoulder.

❛ you can be honest with me , gin. ❜ she said , in all sincerity.

❛ i have a question for you , actually. ❜
