"Absolutely starving"

Lachlan replies in his adorable accented voice.

"Good. We're going to this amazing pizza place, my treat."

I tell him. His face lights up and we begin walking toward the exit. We run to my car. I place his stuff in the trunk and jump in the drivers' seat. Lachlan sits passenger side and I start the car. I put my seatbelt on, brushing Lachlan's arm in the process. The connection sends chills up my arm. I shake it off and turn the car on.

"Um, hey Preston..."

Lachlan hesitates.

"Yes?"

I ask, wondering what he has to say. Thoughts race through my head and I begin to feel panicked.

"Would it be weird if I hugged you again?"

He asks quickly. I lean close to him and wrap my arms around his shoulders. He sighs and mutters,

"God, I've missed this."

I don't think he knows I hear him. I smile to myself and let him go.

"Okay. Now to pizza!"

I declare as I pull out of the parking lot.
