    Summary

    “Elphaba stayed in her room for a day. Galinda came and went with a dinner. On occasion she would stay for a few minutes.”
    - Wicked, Gregory Maguire, pg. 123

    --

    For the first time, Galinda sat down in the room, on the armchair across from Elphaba’s desk. She perched on the very edge of it with her legs primly crossed at the ankles, as if she was preparing to run. Galinda’s sunburn bloomed a soft pink on the high arc of her cheekbones, the bridge of her nose… which was dotted with freckles, as Elphaba would have noticed if she’d cared to look more closely. Galinda’s summer dress hung loosely over her legs.
    With great effort, Elphaba averted her gaze.

    Or, as we know, a lot can happen in a few minutes.

    Summary

    Elphaba always wore gloves. They were plain, black, and skintight, and they went up to her elbows.

    Glinda didn’t know why Elphaba's hands entranced her, why she so desperately wanted to pull her gloves off and tangle their fingers together. She didn’t know, either, why she wanted to pull her hair down from that stupid braid and rake her hands through it. It was just one of those impulsive thoughts, she guessed, like how the little voice in the back of your head would whisper, “jump,” at the edge of a cliff.
