Characters

Cutest Couple
Will Trombal and Francesca Spinelli from Saving Francesca and The Piper’s Son
“Come here,” she says.
“No, you come here.”
“I said it first.”
“Rock paper scissors.”
“No. Because you’ll do nerdy calculations and work out what I chose the last six times and then you’ll win.”
Will pushes away from the table and his hand snakes out and he pulls her toward him and Tom figures that Will was always going to go to her first.
However, Eleanor and Park sure applied the pressure.
