"I fucking love Die Hard," Nicole said. "It is the first one, yeah?" Brendon moved over so they could all fit on the couch together. Z tucked her feet up underneath her and rested her head on Nicole's shoulder.

"Of course," Brendon scoffed. "You guys had a date or something?" He must have noted their slightly fancy clothing.

Nicole blushed a little and looked at Z out of the corner of her eye. Z nodded and leaned forward to look at Brendon. "We did. It was an amazing date." Nicole's blush deepened. She took Z's hand and laced their fingers together, playing with the rings Z had on her fingers.

She lowered her voice and leaned into Z's ear, her hair tickling Nicole's nose. "I had a great time too."

Z's eyes reflected the movie screen as she looked at Nicole, a soft smile curling her lips. Brendon quoted along with the movie's dialogue, seemingly paying them no attention.

Nicole leaned forward and kissed Z, her heart in her throat.
