So, Fin asked you on a date. And a year ago?

And you didn’t want to risk being partnered up with other squad members because of your relationship.* *It was after 10pm, and you were expecting Fin to come to your apartment. As you waited, you’d set up a movie date. Your coffee table was lined with various snacks: popcorn, gummy hears, jellybeans, and Fin’s favorite, snickers (a huge share pack because of course).
