[ it's so weird hearing dustin talk about this place so candidly, because it's stuff she absolutely wants to dismiss as soon as he says it, but she also trusts his blunt honesty more than any of mike's other friends. more than mike sometimes, too. but only because she knows it's in his younger-brother dna to not tell her certain things, just the same as it's in her big sister dna to keep things from him. it's a mutual understanding, even if it makes her crazy.

but anyway, dustin is moving for the door and she takes a step towards it too, huffing quietly when he stops ]

That was my original plan. My apartment is freezing, though, I think maybe the heat is busted or something. Is it any better at your.. place? [ that's still so weird to say ] Because if it is, we are so going there. Right now.
