It's been three days since the day Harper saw Mindy. One glance at his watch and it's nighttime. They curl up to sleep but after a couple minutes of silence, Harper decided it was time, and broke the quiet.
"Hey Mindy, you up?"
"Yeah, just thinking."
"What about?"
"The future."
"Oh, well, I need to tell you something."
"What's up?"
"Listen, I know you only like me as a friend, but I don't."
"Wait, what? You don't want to be my friend?"
Harper gulped down the lump in his throat and said it.
"No, I want to be more than your friend."

"Do you wanna be my girlfriend?"
