tune

Checking the time, she whispered under her breath, /fudge nuggets!/, and started her car letting the cool air cleanse her. /Maybe I shouldn't have worn a scarf…/ she thought to herself.
(How do you get it Italliced?)

(Italicization is an asterisk * on each side of a paragraph/sentence.
App errors are why that happened, btw.)

Sterling frowned when he saw the woman leaving. He wondered when she would come back, then shook his head and went back to moving boxes.

Having since arrived barely five minutes early, she had her apron on and coffee was out the door with the satisfied customers. Sighing, she took a sip of her favorite tea, sparkling strawberry sunrise, when the chime of the bell on the door had rung for the seventh time.
(Idk where to go from here… also, I gotta go to bed.)

(Okay. Night, Kate!
Maybe we could skip til she gets home?)

(Oof, dang. Okay.)

Sterling had managed to bring all his boxes inside and had gotten them to their respective rooms. Now, he just needed to unpack.

He groaned and went to the bedroom. That would probably be a good place to start…

After a long day of work Harlow just wanted to sleep but she was also having a hardcore craving for a burger and fries. After thinking for a bit she decided to stop at In and Out burger. Thinking she was hungry enough she ordered two burgers a shake and a large fry. She parked her car and collected the food. Getting out she once again spotted the man next door hanging a large painting on the wall, he looks exhausted she thought to her self and made the split second decision to ring his doorbell. After all, they were going to be neighbors.

Sterling glanced at the door, slightly confused, then made his way over. He wasn’t expecting any company, but maybe it was one of his neighbors.

“Hello?” he asked with a polite smile as he opened the door.

Harlow felt speechless, staring into her once beloved best friends eyes. He had moved away so long ago and she had pushed aside all memories of him since he had rejected her. Although, he didn't seem to remember her by the look on his face.
"Hi!" she managed to sputter out. "I live just over there and I saw how exhausted you looked. I thought you could use some food…I mean I got it for me but- nevermind. Here," she lifted the plastic bag with the food in it up to him, returning the smile.

Her voice… And her eyes… Why were they so familiar to him?

Mentally shaking off his thoughts, he took the bag from her with a grateful grin.

“Thank you. I’m actually starving,” Sterling chuckled. “I’m Sterling. Sterling Ainsley. As you probably noticed, I just moved in… Actually, I technically just moved back in. My parents lived here, but they sold me their house.”

His voice was much deeper but still had that crispness to it. Gosh I've missed him
"That's great! Enjoy!" Harlow could feel herself shrink back when he confirmed he didn't remember her with the look in his eyes. "Sorry I've gotta run, my dog she must be as starving as you are. Nice to meet you though." As if on cue she could hear Lemonade barking at the window in view. Harlow slowly made her way on the deck.

Sterling chuckled. "Thanks again for the food. What's you dog's name, by the way?"

Harlow snicked a little before responding, "Lemonade."

"Cute name," Sterling said with a smirk. He frowned slightly as he remembered something, and then it clicked. "Harlow?"

"Uh, how do you- You remember me?" Harlow stuttered, surprised he had remembered her name.

"Yes!" Sterling laughed, wrapping his arms around her and spinning whe around. "I'm just sorry I didn't realize it before. I'm surprised you remember me!"

Harlow laughed a little, surprised by the hug. "I didn't want to make it awkward if you didn't remember me."

"I haven't seen you in forever! How have you been?" Sterling asked, a new light in his eyes as he looked at his old best friend.

(Wow, sorry. Didn't realize I was supposed to go to the next page.)
"I'm okay, busy with work. Not a whole lot since you left." Harlow's eyes shot to the ground, not wanting to give away how much she had missed him. And although she was over him, she still cared and hated the way he had left so suddenly.

"Taking any college classes?" Sterling asked, leaning against the doorframe. He had forgotten about the circumstances he had left under, though they might come back soon at this rate.

(Lol.)

"No, school won't start till August, but I am enrolled. I'm majoring in dance and fashion." Harlow replied. "And what about you? Only came back for the house?"As soon as the word left Harlow's mouth she regretted them. How could I be so selfish she thought to her self. Harlow made a mental note to not do it again.

Sterling rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually, my job transferred me here and my parents just agreed to sell me the house."

"Oh," Harlow mumbled. "Um, I got to go, feed my pup but I'll catch you later, yes?" Harlow felt her stomach rumble a little and realized she needed to eat as well.

“Right. Yeah. I’ll catch you later,” Sterling said, nodding slowly. “It was great to see you again.”

You too." Harlow smiled and made her way over to her own house where Lemonade was jumping at her heels with a warm greeting. Grabbing Lemonade's bowl, she filled it with food. Harlow, then, grabbed the cold pizza from the fridge. It's better than no food at all, she thought.
