The evening was just beginning, the sound of laughter and music filling the air. And it’s a sweet sound. Despite all of Maya’s tribulations, she marvels in the togetherness that forms during Parton Festival. Togetherness was never a thing Maya was used to. It often went over her head, the belief that it wasn’t real too prominent in her thanks to her upbringing. But then nights like tonight occur and she can’t help the way her stomach fills with the traditional sense of “butterflies”. The feeling is so prominent that not even her failed Tinder date texting her about the festival can bring her down. Though, Maya would never shy away from the prospect of complaining, especially with Jay at her side. 

Usually, Maya went to the movies alone. It’s something her parents used to tease her for. But back then, it was one of the only thing she could do to gain some kind of independence or freedom. So, when her mother would look at her with distaste, asking the question “who goes to the movies alone?”, Maya came back simply. I do.

Today was different, though. She invited Jay to come along, mostly as a makeshift apology for acting so weird at the festival weeks ago. In truth, Maya had found herself slightly avoiding him ever since, mostly out of embarrassment that she couldn’t quite shake. So, here she was, sat next to Jay while two high profile celebrities kiss on a large screen.
