"Wow, you're all dressed up today!" Keith teased as soon as the connection was made, seeing Amara's elegantly made-up face on his screen.
Amara chuckled, "Well, I'm at a fancy party, so I had to look the part. Where are you this time?" Every recent call with Keith had featured unusual backgrounds, and this twas no exception. He appeared to be on a windy cliffside.
"I'm filming a reality show on the edge of a cliff. It's freezing out here," Keith said, sneezing for emphasis. "Did you bring any hand warmers? If not, I can send syour way," Amara offered.
"Don't bother sending any. Those are for women," Keith replied dismissively.
"What are you implying? That's pretty sexist," Amara shot back. "Just giveyour address, and I'll mail them over. I don't want you catching a cold and complaining about it in your old age." Keith sighed in resignation, "Alright, alright, I'll use them." They chatted for a bit longer, with Keith sharing amusing anecdotes from the show, making Amara laugh.

"What's wrong?" Keith asked, noticing the change in her demeanor.

She pocketed her phone and met Finnian's gaze, sensing something off about him.
Finnian walked over, his eyes fixed on her phone. "Were you talking to Keith?" "Yeah." "What were you two discussing?" "Nothing much, just sstuff about his crew." Finnian stayed silent, his face unreadable. The narrow hallway seemed to press in on them, making the air feel heavy.

She frowned immediately, "We've been friends since childhood. He doesn't feel that way about me. Stop making things up."
