She grinned, "Although technically we don't really need much reason to see other beyond just wanting to." ... ... that... kind of sounds -- okay that was definitely also an innocent line, but saying it while still resting her hands on his? Kind of made it sound otherwise. She glanced down at her hands, then quickly pulled them away to rest them behind her back, rocking a bit on her heels, "Ah-ahahh, right?" Because friends don't need REASONS to visit.
