The Attention Seeker

Forcing?

After the movie ended Steven cleaned up and Mina put the movie away. "Well, I think I'ma call it" Mina said walking to the door, "What? Hey-" Steven said grabbing her waist, "*looks down* Wha- What are you doing?" Mina asked "I just- I just don't want you to leave" Steven said softly "Steven?" Mina questioned "What?"

Mina exclaimed "You just seemed freaked out, so I let go" Steven answered.
