Viv let herself settle into her glass of wine, eager to feel the relaxation that a few glasses of wine could give her. Now that it was just the two of them, Viv realized just how little they had been spending time together. Honestly, sheβd forgotten how nice it was to just be the two of them after a long day. Viv was in a good mood from being around Georgieβs parents, and chuckled at Georgieβs comment of being adopted by her family. βWell, tell them I need new dance shoes for Christmas,β Viv teases, taking another long sip from her glass and enjoying Georgieβs company more. After all the stress from Ray and the party, this was the first time that they truly had alone time together.
Viv thought about Georgieβs comment about how happy and busy her family was. It was something she never really experienced with her family. Sure, they had happy moments, but overall Viv was never truly happy. She realized being here in New York, and having Georgie, she was the happiest sheβd ever been. βIβm glad we got this time to spend together. I feel like weβve both been so busy lately it was nice to just slow down and enjoy the evening with your fathers,β Viv adds as she finishes off her glass, laying back against the couch with a sigh.
She wondered what was bothering Georgie so much. Viv could tell that something was going on, but she didnβt want to pry too much and risk upsetting Georgie, especially after having such a good time with her parents tonight. As Viv refilled her glass, she felt a boost of courage to be a bit more sentimental than she would usually be and added as more of an afterthought, βIβm sorry if Iβve been distant. Iβve really missed spending time with you, G.β Viv took a long sip of her glass afterward, trying to keep a blush off of her face. She was being honest with Georgie, and honest with herself. Viv wanted to push further, figure out what was going on, but she wasnβt sure how far she could push anymore with Hayley in the picture. She wanted to respect their relationship, and also wanted to figure out how she truly felt about Georgie, so the crush she was harboring picked the worst time to bubble back up to the surface.
