"Okay, hear me out," Hershey chimed, looking at Blair intently.
Maybe it worked that Blair was emotionally occupied after all. She still hadn't noticed that something was off with Hershey's choice of topic.
"There are four real ways to determine whether or not someone is in love. First, they're the half you can't imagine life without."
Blair scoffed, "Cringe. But that's a given, I guess."
"Two, you can always be yourself around them."
She closed her eyes at the piece of advice, flashes of memories greeting her like a missing pair of socks she found when she wasn't looking for it. Mindless banter with that certain someone. It was the closest she could think of, and she was grateful to know that she at least had moments like that despite what her life was like so far.
Song is, 'Make You Mine,' by Public ^_^
I make it a tradition to have my ML sing for the FL in my novels 'cause it reminds me a lot of that one serenade tradition in my country, in which young men may formally court young women with a song.
