[That was your hint, Noah. She's not back together with Finn. She gets them to a table, taking a seat, finally letting go of his hand.]

Does it bother you a lot? Your leg?

[ oh leg talk. his least favorite thing and if it wasn't rachel he's probably say something snappy and borderline rude and the subject would drop. but it's rachel, so he doesn't. ]

Most of the time, yeah. I was trying to put off surgery but it looks like I'll have to get it anyway.

[ he shrugs, flicks a packet of sugar at her with a slight grin. ]

Don't worry about it.

[She shrugs. Thing is, she actually gets it.]

Will you be able to play again?

[ ah. he shreds the wrapper to his straw between his fingertips before answering. ]

Doubt it. Not unless someone works a miracle.

I know some good doctors. [She pauses, knowing full well that she's pressing on some buttons that don't want to be pushed.]

I your pride wouldn't mind the help.

Rach, come on. We both know I can't afford that. Besides, I got plenty going for me without my knee.

[ his voice gets tight, and he brushes the shreds of paper off his place setting before picking up the menu. ]

I can afford it. [She says it softly, her eyes downcast onto the table. When she speaks again, she just hopes he'll understand why his future, of all things, matters to her.] I... honestly wouldn't know what to do with myself if I lost my voice.

[ he reaches across the table, takes her hand in his. she's still got tiny hands, he observes, somewhere in the back of his head. ]

Hey. I'll figure it out. You don't have to worry about it. There's always the pool cleaning business. I bet it's still booming.

[ it's supposed to be a joke. she's not supposed to...be upset. he doesn't want her to be upset because of him. ]

Don't be ridiculous. [She grins, offering a soft laugh.] Um... where are you staying?

My mom's. She's alternating between fussing over me and pretending I'm fine. It's a blast.

[ he keeps her hand cupped between his own, idly tapping his fingers against her wrist. ]

[It's nice, having her hand in his. Seems familiar, something she'd missed. Her parents don't act the same anymore; everything has become far too serious in her life. She even actually misses High School sometimes.]

Want to come stay with me? I mean, my dads spend more time at the hospital than they do at home. Even just a night would be... [Oh, she knows what she's saying. She just can't finish the sentence.]

You asking me to come over, braid your hair, paint your toenails? Play my guitar while you practice whatever new song you've got in the works?

[ he's smiling, relaxed and easy. it'd been a while since they'd done anything like that, not since glee club, when she'd managed to wrap him around her little finger. ]

Doesn't sound like a bad way to spend a night.

I'm actually writing a musical right now. [She says it a bit sheepishly, as if even she thinks these shoes are too big for her to be filling.] But I'd like to think I've grown up a bit since the days of innocent sleepovers.

Of course you are.

[ he shakes his head, grin widening. it was so her. besides, it had really only been a matter of time till she started writing her own stuff. what she'd come up with in high school had been amazing. ]

You know I'm in, Berry. I'll bring my guitar and everything.

[Sure, if you didn't count My Hairband.]

Around eight? [She squeezes his hand with a grin.]
