"Are you serious!?"

I blink and tilt my head at Mila, "Were only going for a little bit..."

Mila shrieks behind me, "You cant go to a halloween party for any amount of time, and not come dressed up!"

I turn my head slightly, trying to look at her just a tad but she turns my face forward to continue clipping the ends of my hair.

"I'll pick you out an outfit. You can match Kouvr and I!" She offers and I purse my lips at that.

"What are you guys going as?" I ask her and she puts the scissors down on the table beside us.

I texted Mila this morning after Vinnie and I got up. I told him a little more about missing the girls so he suggested that I invite them over. Kouvr and Alex left this morning to start preparing for the party tomorrow night, so only Mila was able to come over. Which is alright because I havent heard from her the most out of the two. Mila keeps leaving me on delivered and hasnt facetimed me in like two weeks. I'm starting to think that maybe I pushed her away too much.

"Kouvr is a angel and im a devil- you could be a fallen angel!" Mila walks around the chair im sitting in and takes hair from both sides of my head to make sure its even. "You look so good in black."

Knowing Mila and Kouvr, theyre probably going to be wearing something that shows a lot of skin... nothing against that, its just...

"I dunno Mi," I look down at my lap, "I might just put on a dress and a mask and call it-"

Mila frowns deeply and lets go of my hair, taking a step back, "Absolutely not! I mean regardless of what you put on- youll look hot but you cant just throw some dress on that youve probably worn before and some cheap halloween mask. Its gonna be a special night."

I smile at her, "So you know?"

She smiles back at me and proudly nods, "Of course I do. Who do you think helped Alex organize the idea of it? Kouvr loves Halloween, and Alex. Might as well mix the two."

That makes sense.

Mila goes around me and ruffles my hair, fluffing it back up and then she unwraps the towel from around my shoulders. "Youre all done."

"Thank you." I stand up out of the chair and go across the kitchen to fetch the broom as Mila shakes out the towel, her eyes downcast.

Even now with her here... she still feels so far away.

"So erm..." I start as I head back toward her with the broom in my hand, "Anything new happening with you?"

Her demeanor changes, just for a second. Her shoulders stiffen and her eyes shoot up to look at me but she immediately shifts her gaze.

"No, its the same old same." She responds in a chipper voice. Mila tries to take the broom from my grasp but I pull it out of her reach. She playfully rolls her eyes at me and moves out of my way so that i can begin sweeping, then asks, "What about you and Vincent? Where is he anyways?"

She deflected pretty quick.

"I think hes giving Finch a bath." I answer and I glance that way, "Finch got into the flour in the pantry this morning."

Mila gasps and suggests, "You should dress him up as a little ghost!"

I lift my eyes to her as she sits down at the kitchen table, "Vinnie or Finch?"

She laughs at that and shakes her head, "The dog!"

I widen my eyes and shake my head with a small laugh, "Yea I cant even imagine getting Vinnie in something as simple as a sheet."
