"That sounds wonderful," she agrees, escorting Adia to the door when the pizza is all packed up. She smiles at her friend and offers her hand once they're outside so she can give Adia's a small squeeze before they part. "I'll text you soon, Adia. Be well, and take care of yourself until then."

Her smile warms a little more as she releases Adia's hand and then makes her way down the Plaza. She won't text Adia like she should and instead leave the notes with a librarian for her friend, but she'll still do as she promised. But recovering takes time and Amelia's not ready to open up like she needs to. But when she is ready, they'll be able to find a new normal that works for them both.
