Summary
To anyone else, nothing has changed, but to Emily, the energy of the conversation has shifted. She sees her starting to get distant, not in the obviously flustered and sometimes frantic way Andy typically would when she feels uncomfortable. She’s conversational, expressive, and her voice has inflections in all the right places for good storytelling, but she’s not entirely present, like she has stepped back and is guiding the conversation from behind a glass wall.
It’s the first time Emily has ever seen this from Andy and she isn’t quite sure what to do with it, or the way she feels about seeing it. She sets the feeling aside for later.
--
Or the one where Emily realizes that Andy can, in fact, hide a feeling, and she doesn't know how to feel about it at the same time someone from Andy's past, who knows why Andy hides certain feelings, comes back into the picture and reconnects with Andy almost instantly, and Andy insists they're just really good friends.
Friends whose lives have intersected so many times that they've woven a pattern together that's uniquely theirs.
Just like Andy and Emily.
