with words unspoken

The first time Kara notices is during sister night.She forgets exactly what they were talking about. She remembers being on her couch, cuddled up beside Alex. She remembers the dumb Christmas movie they were watching – and rewriting it in her head because the lead obviously had more chemistry with the best friend character. She remembers the topic somehow turning to Lena.“She’s your… friend.”And she remembers the lengthy, blatantly obvious pause preceding the word friend. She wanted to ask about it, but Alex carried on with whatever she was saying, and it slipped out of Kara’s mind.(previously titled she's in love with the girl.)
