Sara found it difficult to choose an outfit.

They agreed to meet up for lunch at a café they both liked but rarely went to, because it would be too pricey if they went there often.

She was understandably confused that Sara wanted to meet up and talk considering they saw each other barely 12 hours ago, but accepted nonetheless. That was all.Īfter Sara texted Leonie, she didn’t receive a text back till several hours later, most likely because Leonie had been asleep. They were just going to have an adult conversation about their (Sara’s) feelings and what to do about them, for the sake of maintaining their relationship. People developed feelings for their friends every day, and it didn’t end their friendships. Most likely, Sara was just over thinking it. But maybe her telling Leonie would lead to a lot of awkwardness between them, and eventually result in the demise of their friendship.

She couldn’t see Leonie not wanting to be her friend anymore just because she had feelings for her. Of course, Sara doubted very much that would happen. Only the pain caused by a band aid usually only lasted a moment, whereas the pain it would cause Sara if Leonie suddenly stopped talking to her would be much worse, and last a lot longer. But she figured it was better to get it over with as soon as possible, like ripping of a band aid. Telling Leonie how she felt wasn’t something Sara was looking forward to do. Next morning, Sara woke up early – or early for a Sunday where she didn’t have to go to work – went for a run, ate breakfast, and texted Leonie to meet up.
