Chilly Boulder, Friday Afternoon

Jan 25, 2013 11:52

After an hour or so of perusing the bookstore, Sholeh and Evan made their way to Chilly Boulder to finish celebrating Evan's birthday. Sure, it was very cold out today, but the lure of ice cream was too much to deny. Especially with Evan bringing along some of the brownies to add to their sundaes ( Read more... )

"It's been a much better birthday than I could have even hoped for," Evan replied, putting his spoon down and giving her a warm smile. "I had been kind of planning to spend it the same way you were going to, by myself, you know?"

But getting to go out with Sholeh, whether or not it was actually a date the way Yeul had suggested, had been a definite highlight. And had even helped take the edge off of his waiting for a phone call from his uncle that never did actually happen.

The day wasn't through yet, so there was still hope!

"This was way better."

"Much, much better," Sholeh agreed, swiping a fingerful of whipped cream off her sundae. "I'm really glad we're both book people, you know? I was worried that I would feel bad for just wandering off and leaving you in the stacks sometimes. But you did it, too, and that made me feel lots better!"

Sure, they'd spent time reading the back covers of interesting books aloud to one another and pointing out books they thought the other would like. But they'd also spent an equal amount of time quietly reading and perusing the books on their own.

"See, that's one of the great things about being friends with another library person," Evan chirped, turning a grin toward his stack of books. "Oh! Which reminds me..."

He held up a finger for a moment, and then went rummaging through his pocket for a tiny wrapped box.

"I got you something. I know it's a couple of days late... But I thought you might like it."

"Oh, Evan!" Sholeh said, reaching for the box and then pausing before she could actually reach it. "You know you didn't have to, right? I didn't get you anything!"

She looked genuinely distressed over that. "I was going to try to be sneaky and get you something at the book store, but I didn't see anything that I'd thought you'd like."

At least, not that he then hadn't gotten for himself.
