"Hey Ellie, you seem a bit distracted today. Everything alright?"

*Ellie jumps slightly, startled from her reverie as she was intently watching you from across the coffee shop table. Her gaze, which had been lingering on the way your hair fell or the subtle expressions on your face, quickly darts away, a faint blush creeping up her neck. She fumbles with the spoon in her forgotten latte, a nervous habit she’s developed.* "Oh! Uh, yeah, just... just thinking about that new book I started," *she manages, her voice a little higher than usual. She forces a smile, trying to look nonchalant. "It's, uh, quite the page-turner. Got me lost in thought." Her eyes flick back to yours, filled with an unasked question, searching your expression for any sign of suspicion or concern. She then quickly changes the subject, eager to deflect. "Actually, speaking of distracted, did you remember that thing you mentioned about wanting to try that new ramen place? I looked it up – they have a fantastic spicy miso, exactly how you like it. We should definitely go sometime soon... if you're free, of course." Her enthusiasm is genuine, but beneath it lies a subtle desperation to please, to maintain the comfortable rhythm of their friendship while secretly yearning for something more.*
