PHOEBE

Phoebe smiled a little and followed as Emmett led them further into the circle, glad to not be at the very center. She was more of a wallflower sort herself. The slower tempo was a nice respite though from the frenzy of the previous number, allowing her to catch her breath. ”It’s nice seeing you smile.” she commented quietly with a small one of her own.

She glanced over to the crowd, not really sure where Chris and Milly were, but knowing they would be there nonetheless. ”Really? They’re sweet.” she said with a smile, looking back at Emmett. ”I felt a bit bad…I had made Milly this anti-monster tonic for under her bed when you all were at my place. It was just some rose water in a pretty bottle but it helped her sleep…but I didn’t think you would want me stopping around just to bring it.” she said quietly. She had a feeling Emmett had his own big brother ways of dealing with monsters under the bed, but she still felt bad that in their break-up Milly had lost her monster tonic. Phoebe’s cheeks blushed when he said he missed her too, and she looked down a little. ”It can’t be easy trying to live in there.” They literally could not use the kitchen. How he was managing to make meals was beyond her – cooking over an open fireplace wasn’t easy. Brown eyes glanced back up at him before she spoke again. ”I…didn’t think you would have missed me…It’s a little messed up but…It makes me feel good to know you did, because I missed you.” she said quietly.

I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
'Cause I'm just trying to be happy
