Dean and Ingrid
Ing laughed at that. Somehow, she always felt better around Dean. Getting outside helped, too. The balcony had a really great view and it helped being away from all the other guests, too. Ing rested her arms on the railing as she looked out over the water, but when she felt Dean's gaze on her, she turned her head to look at him.
"Yeah, I'm- it was just starting to get kind of loud in there." Ing loved her friends, but these kind of things tended to overwhelm her after awhile. Between that and seeing her ex-boyfriend with someone else, she wasn't in a great place, but it felt more manageable out here, at least.
"I really love it out here," she added a heartbeat later. "It's so- peaceful."
