“So here we are again, people watching in public.”
Lizzie looked at Morgan out of the corner of her eye, giving him a coy smile.
The pair had sat down on the edge of the fountain, shopping bags at their sides as the pedestrians walked by. Lizzie had gotten the souvenir shopping for her parents out of the way that day: a copy of the Washington Post for her mum and a minituare Washington Monument for her dad, which was funny to her. Now they were off enjoying each other’s company without distractions, in that lovely little summer time together.
Since Prom, the two had spent a fair amount of time together. Enough that it could no longer be called casual. It was nothing official though, not as far as either of them could say, but they were doing what they were doing. Were they going out? Only technically speaking. Were they boyfriend and girlfriend? Well that was just something they couldn’t say for sure. Had they kissed yet? No, but -
Well, they were having a good time together, and that was enough for now.
“Nice out here, ain’t it? I can see why people want to go into politics. You know, my mom actually used to live out here when she first immigrated. Back when she was still reporting for the Süddeutsche Zeitung." she said with an intentionally harsh effect. The name had made her giggle when she was little. "She’s been telling me about all the stuff I should see while I’m out here, too. Pretty sure she would’ve tried to take my place if she could’ve.”
She stretched further back into her seat, soaking in the ambience of the big city with a cute guy at her side.
"Do you think the stuff I bought them seems cheap?"
