Anja POV

Wow. This place really turned itself around. I thought to myself.

All week Nick had been adamant that he would be taking me out to dinner Friday. Something about 'needing to tell me something'. He chose a nice Italian place in the city proper, my favorite in fact. I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday which was before they totally rebranded and their prices skyrocketed. Walking in, I noticed the new bar in the back and the massive chandelier in the middle of the main room. They put in a beautiful skydome that let the moonlight radiate through the chandelier onto the tables below. 

I walked up to the hostess stand. "Hi. I'm here for Armstrong." She typed into the computer, picked up a menu, and waved for me to follow. She showed me to a table in the corner of the restaurant where Nick was waiting for me. He was dressed in black slacks and a red button-down shirt. I hadn't seen him dress that nice since senior prom.

"A waiter should be over soon." She said.

"Thank you." I nodded, then sitting down across from Nick. "Hi." I waved.

"Hey." He looked nervous. It was worrying me.

A moment later a young waiter walked up to us, a big welcoming smile on their face with a name tag reading 'Ashton'. "What can I get you two lovebirds to drink tonight?" They asked.

"We're not a couple." Nick and I said in unison. Ew.

Nick giggled. "Coke please and calamari to start us off."

"Of course, and you miss?" They looked at me.

"Uh, Shirley temple would be good I think?"

"Of course. I'll be back with those soon and to get your order."

As soon as they left I turned to Nick, jokingly scowled at him. "So?" I wiggled in my seat to get his attention. "Why did you drag me here?"

"What?" He was definitely nervous. I could tell by him hiding behind his menu and the lack of eye contact. 

"Nick? You're kind of starting to worry me. This place is like... really... expensive now. What's wrong?" I questioned.

"I... uh... I wasn't expecting you to ask so early into dinner. I'm not quite sure how to tell you this but-."

"Are you proposing?" Immediately started gagging in a playful manner.

He slammed his menu down. "Ew. No. Shut up."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Then what's so serious?"

"Anja you know I love you, right?"

"Yes..." I drew out the 's' as my stomach dropped. What did he do? The dim light in our corner of the room seemed to fit his vibe. He was being serious now, it wasn't like him.

"It's just... I've been trying to figure out how to tell you this for a while and, damn it." He threw his head back and clenched his fists. "I'm moving out of the apartment to move to Orlando to live with Dream at the beginning of January." He spit out quickly.
