Re: Alfie/Evie
Well, that wasn't much to work with. "You're welcome?" she squeaked, cheeks still red. She supposed it had been nice, but she hadn't felt any fireworks, or any sparks even. It had just been warm and maybe a little fuzzy.
They were meant to be friends, she realized. Not anything more. But at least she'd had her first kiss and hadn't completely ruined it.
"Thanks," she said finally. "If I could have picked anyone to have my first kiss with, I'm glad it was you. You're a good friend, Alfie."
Hopefully, that would convey the message that she wasn't intending to kiss him again, while preserving both his feelings and their friendship.
