Summary
The plate of risotto rests on the table between them, perfect except for one missing spoonful. Leah’s still looking at her, waiting for the verdict; Fatin suddenly, overwhelmingly doesn’t know how to do this.
It’s incredible, she wants to say. You’re incredible. You, you, you. I’ve been all around the culinary world, been Michelin fucking starred, and I’ve never met a better sous than the one sitting across from me right now. Sometimes I think a meal prepared by your hands is the only thing that’s ever cured my hunger.
“Yeah,” she says finally. “That’s fire, chef.”

Summary
Galinda is quiet. "I'm going to become your new best friend," she says finally.
This startles Elphaba so much that she looks up from her book. There's no twitch in Galinda's lips; she's gazing at Elphaba with uncomfortable sincerity. Elphaba glares back.
“You'll see,” Galinda promises, her ineffable cheer returning. "I'm irresistible."
Elphaba realizes the black hat is a prank before Galinda has the chance to make it up to her at the Ozdust, producing the most one-sided best friendship in Shiz history.

Summary
And there it is again, that damn lack of a filter whenever so much as a single drop of alcohol enters Glinda’s system. That dopey smile, too, that she flashes at Elphaba charmingly, even in her current state. Those big doe eyes opening again to look at her, the slightly crooked smile crinkling at their edges. Instead of answering Elphaba’s question, Glinda giggles. “I like it when you call me that.”
“Mh?”
“When you call me pretty girl, it makes me feel all fuzzy.”
Or, Elphaba thinks her feelings for her best friend are unrequited, despite the many times Glinda accidentally tries to get her point across after a few too many drinks. They’re both oblivious to the other’s feelings until it becomes undeniable.- Language:
