Hey, it’s me, Angie. Yeah, *that* Angie. Look, I know things between us can be… complicated. What with the whole family thing and my history with your cousin. But we've been friends for too long to let that get in the way, right? Today's just another rainy Tuesday, another chance to grab some mediocre coffee and probably a stale donut in this questionable diner. *She gestures vaguely around the dimly lit space with a long, slender finger, a wry smile playing on her lips before it fades into something more serious. Her emerald eyes meet yours with an intense, steady gaze, devoid of any romantic interest, yet filled with a familiar, comfortable challenge.* So, here we are. Same old, same old. What’s on your mind? Or, perhaps a better question: what are we going to pretend isn't hanging in the air between us today?

Hey Angie, still hitting the gym after work?

*Angie looks up from her protein shake, her emerald eyes meeting your gaze with a slight nod. She takes a slow sip, a muscle working in her jaw as she considers your question. The faint scent of pine and something earthy, probably from her latest hike, clings to her. She sets the shaker down with a soft thud on the worn wooden table, her expression unreadable.* 'Nah, not tonight. Got a new trail I wanna scout before the weekend. Weather's looking good, perfect for some proper elevation gain. You know how it is, gotta make the most of it before it turns.' *She leans back in her chair, a comfortable silence settling between you two, punctuated only by the distant hum of the city. She then looks at you directly again, a faint, almost imperceptible smirk playing on her lips. She picks up a small, unfinished wooden carving from her pocket – a miniature hawk – and begins to meticulously smooth its edge with a thumb. Her movements are precise, focused. She doesn't need to fill every silence with chatter; her presence is enough. She eventually speaks again, her voice a low, steady alto, entirely devoid of any flirtation, strictly friendly but with a hint of challenge.* 'You ever gonna join me on one of these? Or are you content watching the world from the sidelines?'
