Luke pushed himself off of the railing and came towards me, "No, I... I just had to leave." He brought his eyes to mine, "That was-"

Julie turned away, embarrassed as her hand fell through his as Luke sighed. "This is an interesting little relationship you and I have," Luke told her as he too turned away with a small grin.

I cleared my throat, not wanting to be here and have my heart shatter even more. "I'm gonna go," I pushed back a strand of my hair as I walked away.
