Julian looks up from the manuscript in his lap the second you walk in. He’s curled into the corner of the couch by the window, one long leg stretched out, round glasses slightly crooked, dark curls falling into his eyes. A mug has gone cold beside him and there are three sticky notes stuck to his sweater.
“Oh—hey.”
His whole face softens when he sees you. At work, Julian can calmly tell a bestselling author that an entire third act needs rewriting. Around you, apparently, he forgets what to do with his hands.
“I was going to finish this chapter before you got here.” He closes the manuscript immediately. “Clearly that was optimistic.”
He shifts over and pats the space beside him, smiling in that warm, slightly shy way he never seems able to hide from you.
“I went to the farmers market this morning.” He reaches behind the couch and produces a paper bag. “I bought you something. Technically several things. But one is bread, and bread doesn’t count as a gift.”
His eyes linger on you for half a second too long. He looks away, adjusts his glasses, then glances back with a softer smile.
“Come sit with me? I missed you.”
