Finn was patiently waiting for Sadie to show up.

Millie had been gone most of the day shooting a commercial for some shoe company, and she insisted that Finn stay home and relax. He took up the offer then, and decided that he would invite Sadie over so he could finally talk to her like he told Grace he would. Millie would be back soon, so he wanted to try and get this over with fast so that he would have time with her.

The doorbell rang and Finn got up, making his way over to the door. He opened it up and Sadie smiled at him.

"Hey," she said as she hugged him.

He gave a polite hello and gestured for her to come in, the both of them sitting on the couches in the first living room comfortably.

"So I'm just going to get straight to the point," Finn started.

Sadie nodded, having a pretty good idea of why Finn had called her over.

"I talked to Grace."

Sadie nodded with a small smile and Finn could see hope flash through her eyes.

"She understands why you don't want to be in a relationship and she really just wants your friendship back," Finn explained.

Sadie nodded again.

"She also wanted me to tell you because she didn't want to have to deal with the awkwardness that would come with trying to make up," Finn said with a small laugh.

"I'll talk to her," Sadie smiled.

Finn scoffed, "Was it really that easy? God you guys made it seem so complicated."

Sadie giggled, "I think I'm just really trying to come to terms with things you know? I don't want it to be weird. Grace and I were amazing before all of this mess so I just want that again."

Finn nodded, "That's good."

They were quiet for a few seconds before Sadie spoke up.

"So how are you and Millie?"

"We're great. I uh, told her I loved her recently..." Finn trailed off.

Sadie's eyebrows raised, "No way! That's great."

Finn nodded and Sadie caught on to his bothered look right away.

"Or not great? Why the face?" Sadie asked.

Finn bit his lip, "it's just...it's nothing."

Sadie sighed and stood up. She walked over to the couch that Finn was sitting on and sat next to him. He looked over and she raised her eyebrows.

"Tell me," she said quietly.

"But you're her friend. Her best friend. I don't need you telling her this and having her worry," Finn said.

Sadie gave Finn a weak smile, "I won't tell her, I promise."

Finn didn't know if he should trust Sadie or not. He took a deep breath in, figuring he didn't have much to lose anyway.

"Millie didn't say it back. She still hasn't."

Sadie nodded and her eyebrows furrowed a little, "When did you tell her?"

"Tomorrow will be exactly a week," Finn replied without missing a beat.

Sadie raised her eyebrows now, "You've been counting. So it's a big deal to you?"

Finn nodded, "Well yeah. It's only normal for me to want the girl I love to love me back right?"

"Yeah, sorry that was a dumb question," Sadie said.
