Sohalia
When Jude hooked his finger around hers, Soh relaxed against him almost in spite of herself, her heart stuttering in a way that she didn't entirely understand, butterflies filling her stomach in a way that she'd never experienced. Things had always been easy between she and Jude. They were best friends, after all. Did his silence mean that he wanted them to be a couple? Did she? Wouldn't that change things? Or could they be both, friends and (gulp) lovers?
What did it mean for such a small touch to spark and fizz in her mind, distracting her almost to the point of missing what the jeweler had to say? She blushed a bright red as Jude had to take the lead, lifting her head from his shoulder and squeezing her forefinger against his in adoration for the way his voice wavered.
The settings for her earrings were exactly as she had envisioned (she thought - she wasn't really paying that close of attention), and she nodded her approval to the jeweler. "S-sure," Soh stammered, trying and failing to sound calm and collected. Gods above, get a grip! She swallowed down her sudden nerves as they left the shop - and their rubies - behind. "The usual place?" she asked, and was pleased to find that her voice sounded more normal now that they were out in the fresh air and she felt she could breathe properly again.
