Reagan & Viola | Evening; Directly after her dance with Luke | Town Circle
Reagan was nodding along. Ran away. Yep. Big scandal. Yep. But before she could even pause to contemplate just how she was going to begin to explain what was wrong with Luke, Vi said about the most wonderful thing she could have in that moment.
And she laughed.
It was a startled, high-pitched sound at first, but gradually it gave way to a hearty, more genuine sound, one not freely given under normal circumstances but that felt great just then. She rolled her head back and then rocked forward, doubled over with her mirth; her hand reached out to hold onto Vi's elbow as she straightened, and she leaned into her as the last of her giggling subsided with a familiarity that sober!Reagan would never have authorized. "Oh, I like you."
