100 words


"Did something good happen today?"

"What? How did you know? Who told you?"

"Woah," he laughed. "I know because you're like a radio wave sending signals to everyone. You were almost skipping on the way to the table."

"I have too many reasons to be happy," she sighed, as if good things were a burden.

"So," he egged her, "what is it today?"

"Like, us hanging out. And this pandan cake!"

They had years of catching up to do and there was no time for secrets. He itched with impatience but he decided to stop asking -- for now.
