Chapter 1: She Just Said She Would Be Here

"Are you nervous?" She asks me quietly, looking at me in a way I've never seen before. "A little bit." I attempt to say nonchalantly, but I know she can tell that I'm way more nervous than I say I am. "Don't be, it's going to be okay, I promise. It's just me and you." She reassures me, and when she reminds me that it's just us, everything that's ever mattered before, doesn't matter now.
