connor knocks tentatively on zoe's door.

"yeah?"

he swings open, and zoe scowls. "what do you want?"

with her glare, it's suddenly difficult to talk. "i, uh, i was wondering if you wanted to go to the new froyo place?"

"why would i want to do that?" she puts an earphone back in.

"because– i want to– to make it up to you."

zoe scoffs. "yeah, well, froyo isn't gonna make up for ptsd, con."

he flinches. "i know. i just thought– i-it could be start."

connor starts to chip off his nail varnish anxiously as a long pause ensues.

"sure." zoe says finally, rolling her eyes. "when?"

"uh–" connor blinks, surprised– "uh, saturday?"

"cool." zoe pops her bubblegum and embeds the second earphone into her ear. "saturday it is."

connor nods, unable to keep a smile off his face. "ok. can't wait!"

and zoe just grunts in response.
