Evan and Isak
"Oh. I, um." He wanted to say thank you. It meant a lot to him that someone noticed he was trying. Because he was. But it was hard. It was also difficult to say thanks, even when it was sincere, and he abandoned the idea quickly.
"I don't think I um, should climb anymore um, trees." Even though he liked to climb trees. There was something about being high up in the branches, far far away from the ground. He liked that. But it wasn't easy to climb now, with his arm in a cast.
