[She slowly shakes her head.] Kurt's in New York. I'm... honestly awfully jealous but we used to hang out a lot while I was living there but until I get back.... [She shrugs.]
Finn and I tried the long-distance thing for a while, but it just didn't work. We have different goals. He wanted to stay here, and I wanted to... desperately get away. [And boy, she really doesn't want to talk about Finn, but she also knows that it's a topic that had to come up at some point.]
So what? You two on break for the next couple weeks or...?
[ because he knew how this game went. finn was his friend, but still, puck had seen this game. finn bounched between quinn and rachel like a fucking tennis ball, and intercepting hadn't even played out for puck. not then and he doubted it would be different now.
he thinks of her hand in his, the way she'd reached for him, and bites the inside of his cheek. ]
I guess that means it's time for you to remember. [She smiles, looking coy, just as an idea gets the better of her.]
We haven't ordered, and... My dads texted earlier to let me know they were staying at the hospital. Do you want to get out of here? [Yes, it means what you think it means.]
[ and yes, he gets the door for her on the way out. he remembered a time when he'd been the one with the car. rachel had just picked him it. it was kind of impressive, truth be told. ]
[ before he gets in, he pecks her cheek fast, the blink-and-you-miss-it type of gesture. he's good at those.
he stretches out his legs once he's in the car. it's not a bad ride, and there's just enough room for him when he moves the seat back. he doesn't touch the radio. whatever she picks is fine by him, and he knows better than to come between rachel and her choice in music. ]
Surprisingly, the radio stays off. It's a bit of a sentimental issue, and as disappointing as a car without music is... well. The ride is only about five minutes regardless, and she parks the car, looking to him with a smile before getting out of the car.]
[ he takes her hand back, almost without thinking about it. the last time he'd been in rachel's house he'd been a kid in high school. it looked the same but...still. it brought back all sorts of memories. ]

Finn and I haven't been together for years, Noah.

It's cute when you make that face at me. I forgot about it.

[She grins when he holds the door for her (manners matter!), and heads for the car, opening the passenger side for him.]
