You smile and let loose a little laugh under your breath, thinking that she's just being silly for coming up with an excuse for you guys to meet, when she could have just asked you directly.
"I'm being serious! I just can't do it on my own!!" She says while pouting, puffing out her cheeks slightly and folding her arms together. Uh-oh, the hunger must be getting to her. You bring her attention to the menu, just to confirm her order.
"So... a regular cheeseburger meal for you?"
'Actually, I'm really hungry. Could you help me get a large instead?" comes her request, eyes twinkling. You smile back at her and say, "Sure, two large cheeseburger sets, coming up!"
As you open your eyes, you see Nicole exhale sharply, hand on her chest. You decide not to deny the especially irritable lady in front of you any further, and you make your way to the kiosk to place your orders. As you're waiting for your food to be prepared, your mind drifts to what Nicole had just said, about her being able to grow when someone talks about growth around her. I mean, how would that even work? Would she grow throughout the conversation? Would she grow a certain amount when the word was said? Your contemplation was interrupted by your queue number being called out, bringing that train of thought to a halt.
"Yay, food!!" exclaims Nicole, as she claps her hands together and performs a little 'food wriggle' while you sit yourself down and take in the adorable display in front of you.
"I was considering getting a milkshake for us to share, but I'm not sure if we'll want to touch it after such a great meal." you explain, as you mentally prepare yourself to eat an extra serving of fries, thinking back to every time Nicole has ever gotten a large set for lunch. You understood that naturally, Nicole would have a smaller appetite than yours. Nicole, on the other hand, tended to overestimate her capacity to eat when she was hungry.
"Man, they really gave us a huge portion of fries today!" you say, reaching for the fry bucket that was on Nicole's tray. You flinched a little as your hand brushed against Nicole's as you weren't expecting her to be reaching for her fries. She giggles, and you look up to see her smiling at you.
Was her hair always that long?
