Summary
She had prepared. This was the part Emily found genuinely alarming. Andy had acquired face paint, red, white, and blue, in little pots, arranged on the bathroom counter beside Emily's serums like a threat. She had bought a packet of tiny American flags on cocktail sticks, the sort of thing that ordinarily garnished a cupcake, and had distributed them around the living room with the solemnity of a general planting standards. And she had, that morning, attempted to paint a flag on Emily's cheek.
“Absolutely not,” Emily had said, leaning away from the approaching sponge with her whole spine.
“Just a little one. Just a tiny one. On the cheekbone. It'll be cute.”
“I am English.”
“Okay, but for one afternoon—”
“I am English, I have dignity, and I believe face paint on an adult should be grounds for arrest. On any adult. In any circumstance. I would testify.”
“You'd look so patriotic.”
“To a country that is not mine. Andrea, put the sponge down. Put it down. I will pour that pot of blue paint into your handbag, and I will not feel a thing.”
Or: Andy gets World Cup fever. Emily remains entirely unaffected.

Summary
To anyone else, nothing has changed, but to Emily, the energy of the conversation has shifted. She sees her starting to get distant, not in the obviously flustered and sometimes frantic way Andy typically would when she feels uncomfortable. She’s conversational, expressive, and her voice has inflections in all the right places for good storytelling, but she’s not entirely present, like she has stepped back and is guiding the conversation from behind a glass wall.
It’s the first time Emily has ever seen this from Andy and she isn’t quite sure what to do with it, or the way she feels about seeing it. She sets the feeling aside for later.
--
Or the one where Emily realizes that Andy can, in fact, hide a feeling, and she doesn't know how to feel about it at the same time someone from Andy's past, who knows why Andy hides certain feelings, comes back into the picture and reconnects with Andy almost instantly, and Andy insists they're just really good friends.
Friends whose lives have intersected so many times that they've woven a pattern together that's uniquely theirs.
Just like Andy and Emily.
