Re: in-person: holly/noah
[Noah was working to make the moments bearable as they happened. Which was hard, because sometimes he had to work and so on and so forth. But, he was trying. He knew this was hard af for Holly and, well, it was hard not to want to cheer him up. Maybe that was negating the dude's valid emotions? Noah couldn't say. He just knew, like, what he felt from Holly was bad. It was more nuanced than that, but it was still bad, and he wanted to help.
The mention of a shower had him thinking. He wasn't sure, like, how or if that would work. But they could try?] We could try? A shower. I can shower with you. Wanna do that? [Noah glanced toward the bathroom. It wasn't too far away.—He looked back to Holly. He reached to tuck stray hair back from the dude's face.] You look hot too. For the record. [He said it softly and with a soft-ass expression.] We can lay too though. I can spoon you. Kiss you. You know, whatever. [Noah smiled.]
