[ julie snorts, maybe there's a quiet murmur that sounds a little like dork, but the way she's pressed to his back, he'll feel the brief tremble that comes with silent laughter too. the way he flinched when she got on the bike, when she put her arm around him didn't escape her, but julie decides to chalk that up to corey being the anxious basket case that he is and leave it at that. ]

[ she thinks about asking where he's taking her, but she stays quiet, enjoying the ride. there's a kind of symbiosis to it, she finds, learning to understand what his body language means. having to lean with him, make sure she's not a distraction. it's... nice. ]
