Harper woke up to the sound of her blaring alarm at an incredibly early 6:30. She slapped her hand onto the snooze button on her phone, trying to rub the tiredness and day old mascara from her eyes. Her mind was scrambled with the events of last night, and she could still smell a hint of tom's pine scent on her pillow. Thrashing around her sheets, grabbing her phone and getting out of bed, she stumbled into the bathroom, and saw a very tired Harper Adler staring back at her in the illuminated mirror.

Last night had been a whirlwind of emotions, from giddy, to disappointed, to lighter than air. In the beginning of their friendship, Harper had reluctantly let Tom into her life, and yet she wasn't regretting it.
She didn't think that was possible.
Besides Frankie, Seb, Anthony and Chris, everyone else was much more of an acquaintance. A, "I'll text them happy birthday, but no present" type of acquaintance. A, "we split a scone and laughed halfheartedly to diffuse the tension" type of acquaintance. It wasn't that Harper was indifferent to making connections, it was that she was nervous. Nervous about standards, the outcome and anything deep. To harper, deep equaled dangerous. She had dealt with dangerous with Michael, and knew she couldn't handle that kind of hurt again. But now, it was becoming easier, and that freaked her the fuck out. Still standing in the dim light of the bathroom, Harper unlocked her phone and started texting.
