because 

it was Spring, and damp 

the residue of her smoke drifted down, not up 

 

because

it was Evening, and newly dark

the porch lights and streetlamps, barely warm 

 

because 

it was supposed to be just Friends,  she wasn't dressed up so

his appearance made her awkward

 

                                                        tugging at her bangs,  pulling down her sleeves
