Writing Prompt #417: Shifting Contexts

Show the difference in how people interact with each other in different places.

I interact with my boyfriend very differently at my house than I do at his, and we interact very differently in restaurants than we do on sidewalks.

Sometimes, when you're with a friend in a new context, it's hard to know how you fit and what your role is. Sometimes you need the other person to take the lead and sometimes they don't.

So, write. ^-^
