Text your sister.

Trying to not just gawk at Hana's backside the whole way, you follow your new friend into the courtyard. The two of you are alone again. Without the prying eyes of others, you can focus on increasing your score with her. She smiles as you take the spot on the bench next to her. You watch her pop a strawberry into her mouth and turn her attention to her phone. This reminds you that you need to find out who in your family is coming to your daughter's graduation. They live several hours away so they'll probably at least need to stay the night. With Natalie's mother also coming to visit, sleeping arrangements could be a pain. You pull out your phone and text your sister, Grace.

You: Hey, just wanted to check in and see who all is coming for Ava's graduation.

While you wait for a response, you pull out your peanut butter and jelly sandwich and take a bite. Hana gives you a disapproving look.

"Frank, while a sandwich isn't bad, you really need to eat healthier. If you want the best results, you've got to eat right."

Mouth full, you answer, "Well, what do you suggest?"

She takes a strawberry from her little lunch container and offers it to you. You start to reach up for it but you get an idea. Quickly, you lean your head down and bite it directly out of her hand. She gasps and slaps your shoulder playfully. Just then, your phone buzzes.

Grace: Hey Frank. About time you formally invited us. Yes, we've been planning on coming.

You: Sorry... it's kind of snuck up on me.

Grace: You work too hard, big bro. It will be Chloe and I. Mom and Dad will come too.

Makes sense. The four of them live together. Several years ago, Grace went through a divorce and moved back in with your parents. Her daughter, your niece Chloe, also lives with them. At 19, she's a year older than your daughter. Your former brother in law was always a deadbeat. Things were rough for your sister for a while but the stability of living at home has been a huge positive.

You: Can't wait to see you guys.

Grace: I'll talk to you in a day or two and iron out the details. We'll need to stay for at least a night. If it was just Chloe and I, we would probably drive back that night. Mom and Dad might want to stay longer. I don't know. Love ya!

You: Love you too :)

You sit down your phone and resume eating lunch.

Hana gives you a curious look, "Who ya texting?"

"Oh? Just my sister. You know, making plans for family to visit during my daughter's graduation."

"Cool. Full house, huh?"

"Yeah… I guess there will be 8 of us. Somebody isn't gonna be happy about sleeping on the couch."

Hana laughs, "Why do I get the feeling that it's going to be you, Frank?"

"Eh... I bet I can avoid it."

With the help of the Affection Multiplier, maybe you could make the sleeping arrangements interesting.

You and your new friend spend most of the rest of your lunch break in silence. It's not awkward either. The two of you are just recharging your batteries together, enjoying being away from the hustle and bustle of the office. Hana gives you a few more strawberries. She didn't pack much for lunch so you feel guilty eating some of hers. You offer her your half eaten sandwich.

"Want some?"

She appears to think for a moment before suddenly lunging forward and taking a huge bite of the sandwich right out of your hand. She nearly takes a finger with it. The two of you giggle between yourselves and you notice a smudge of peanut butter on Hana's cheek.

Pointing at it, you say, "You got some right there... here let me get it for you."

Delicately, you wipe the peanut butter off of her fair skin with your finger. Not quite thinking, you bring the finger to your mouth and lick it off.

Hana blushes, "Frank..."

"What? Can't let it go to waste. I'll need the energy for later."

Hana gets a napkin and wipes her cheek again. The two of you gather your things and start to head inside. It's not until you're following behind Hana that you notice the green 57 floating above her head. 8 points in one lunch? Easy gains. You pull out your phone and take a quick look at the app, pulling up your favorites page. You also see an option to add your sister to favorites. You tap it.

Holy shit. There's a 2 for Hana's love score. You freeze in place, halfway up the steps. Just ahead of you, Hana seems to notice you stop.

She turns around and says, "Something wrong? They didn't cancel on you already, did they?"

Struggling to find words, you answer, "No... I... I just... just saw something amazing."

"Hmm? What did you see?"

"I don't know if I can explain it. Maybe I'll tell you one day."

She gives you a funny look, "You're a weird guy, Frank. That's not an insult, by the way."

Hana turns and continues her climb up the stairs.
