Josie felt the breath leave her chest when his arm made its way around her waist, fingers trickling across the exposed skin on her side. When he noticed that he had done such, he quickly pulled away and looked down, taking a step back while voicing an apology. "It's totally fine, really." He lifted his eyes to meet hers as spoke of a proverb, soon translating it to his own language. Josie practically felt herself melt at the unknown words. 

"That's beautiful," she commented, her lips curling into a bright, white smile. What did she expect from someone that everyone in her building had said was fluent in Taiwanese. "Maybe we can get to know one another a little better sometime." The subway lurched to a stop and Josie fell into Aaron's chest, having not been holding on to any handles or rails. Her 5'3 frame slammed against his taller one, knocking the breath from her. She quickly apologized with a small laugh and took a step back, glancing up at him. He smelled nice, but the scent of paper was distinct from his job. 

"This is our stop," she smiled and stepped onto the platform. "Come on then," she urged and hurried up the stairs behind her, on a tight schedule. Just so she didn't lose him, Josie grabbed fingers in her hand, not meaning anything by it in her mind. "You're so slow," she teased and picked up the pace, coming a bit short of a job as they hurried down three blocks towards the club where the show was being held.
