The Park [Friday night after dark]

Ben had found a giant movie screen...somewhere...and had set it up in the park along with rickshaws and cardboard boxes decorated to look like cars. (On a carless island, you improvised when you'd decided you wanted a drive-in movie experience).

There was also burgers, shakes, fries and other drive-in food for those who were coming to see the cinematic classic that was Fast and Furious Quick and Angry 6: This Time We Have a Tank!

The weather was cooperating tonight, so the sky was clear. Come on out for a movie before the newbies arrive!

The squirrels probably had a running pool on how many times Sholeh would blush during any given interaction. If so, the higher the better, and here was yet another one in the pot.

"You're just silly," she mumbled, looking down at her lap. "Zhahar's beautiful." Sholeh was the plain sister; she'd always accepted that. She was too mousey to be anything but.

"Sure she is," Evan agreed easily, shrugging his shoulders. "But that doesn't mean anything. One person being pretty doesn't mean that someone else isn't."

He reached to run his fingers affectionately through her hair.

"You're beautiful, too."

So there.

Sholeh looked up at him, tilting her head in curiosity. "You know, you seem different," she told him. "Since that weekend. You seem less hesitant about stuff. More sure."

She was pretty sure that Evan wouldn't have been able to run his hands through her hair and call her beautiful without blushing before.

Well, she'd gone and brought his attention to it. Now he was blushing a little.

"I think it helped to put some things into better perspective," he offered. "He was... He was really sure of himself, too. He knew what way was up. If nothing else, I can stop worrying about whether or not I ever will. It might be carrying a little into everything."

"I'm glad," Sholeh said, worming her hand into his. "It's nice to see. Not that you weren't nice before or anything," she added hastily, "but I like knowing that you've got your feet a little more firmly under you. You can be more Evan that way, you know? Being Evan without second guessing yourself."

"It's a nice change of pace," Evan admitted, smiling faintly. "I can make decisions based on what I feel is right, instead of what I think is going to keep me from making far worse decisions down the road, or what's less likely to make people think I'm something... huge and horrible and not me at all."

He ran his free fingers through her hair again, squeezing her hand and blushing a little all over again.

"But I'm never going to second-guess what I think of you. You really are very pretty."

"Well, you--he was huge, but not at all horrible. And different, but still very much the same person I know now. You'd grown up, but the core of you hadn't changed."

Sholeh knew very much about cores, thank you. She was something of an expert.

Looking up at him, she smiled softly and said, "I feel pretty when I'm with you." And then she gave him a very soft kiss on the lips.
