Ellie gestured, running her hands through her hair and then looking at the ceiling. She began to drool over the image of Max that popped into her head next.
You can say that she's beginning to act like one of those girls in the movies when they start to fall in love. However, she didn't care. You can say that because she might be feeling a thing for Arthur's friend for real.
