Tim was the one back to being flustered again, but Sophia didn't mind. She knew eventually he would easily be able to talk to her without feeling so worried or awkward. "Today was fun," she agreed. "Minus all that Twilight Zone shit at the park. And we can definitely do something together again soon." She stood and pulled off his hoodie, checking its size and making a mental note before she handed it back to him. She tried to think of the next time she was free and laughed a bit when she remembered this week was the start of Thanksgiving vacation.

"Hey, Tim," she said as she retrieved her shoes and started to put them on. "If you don't have any plans for Thanksgiving, want to join me? I won't make you come to my family's, of course. We can just hang out at my apartment, eat, and play games or watch a movie. If you want to, that is." Sophia wouldn't bring Tim to her family's knowing that they would all want to talk to him and question him, and possibly assume that he was Sophia's boyfriend--all of which she was sure that he wouldn't be able to easily handle. Still, she didn't want him to be alone on Thanksgiving.
