It's been a month since Harry's birthday.
I feel better, but I miss him and how he made me feel.
"Juls do you think I overreacted?" I ask her
"About what?"
"With Harry?"
"When we were at the party, I don't think so! But when he showed up here and explained, maybe a little. But I also understand why you acted the way you did." she explains
"You are finally feeling like yourself again! You have a new jewelry collection coming! Maybe it is time you hear him out! To either end things or to make amends."
"What if he lied, and he is actually with her?!"
"There is only one way to find out! And since the last performance no one heard about them!" she points out
"I will text him!"
"I love you, girl!" she hugs me

I'm meeting Harry at his house, and as I get near there is a nervous feeling in my stomach.
I knock and after a few minutes the door opens and Harry comes into view.
He looks awful, he looks like he hasn't slept in days.
"Hi, are you ok?" I can't help but to ask
"Hey, it depends on what way you are asking!" he shrugs and steps aside for me to come in
"Soo..." I say a little awkward
"I don't know what to say to you!" I say truly
"I...I'm sorry! I should've told you! I wish I did things differently!" He starts
"And before we talk about things I just want to tell you that I didn't invite her on my birthday. Jeff's wife thought that me and her were really dating and told her to come too."
"Okay."
"Can you wait a second, while I grab something?" he asks
"Sure!"
He gets up and disappears upstairs, after a few moments he comes back with some papers.
"I didn't lie to you. And I'm really sorry I broke your trust, but here!" he says as he hands me all the papers but one
I read and it sure is a contract between him and Taylor, and an NDA.
"What does it mean that the finish date is in a month?" I ask
"It means that I'm in a fake relationship with Taylor till the end of the month, which requires public apparitions" he says
I'm quiet for a while
"Why do you have to do this thing?!" I ask
"If it were up to me I wouldn't have, but Jeff thinks it attracts fans. It wasn't that bad this time, but the last time I did this with Olivia, it was awful and painful. I was so tired of pretending all the time!" he answers
"I'm sorry!" I say
We stay in silence for a few moments till he speaks again.
"I also want to give you this! It's not perfect, but I wanted to make amends with you so I came up with this idea" he says a little embarrassed as he hands me the last paper
It is most drawings, but there is one word at the top that makes me stop in disbelief. It's written in Portuguese.
I look up at him with tears in my eyes
"In my last therapy session, she told me to pick an emotion and write or draw about it. And I choose the feeling of missing someone. And I realized that you guys, in Portugal, have a powerful word to describe it 'saudade'. Eu tive saudades tuas, M!" his accent is bad but it's so thoughtful
"I can't speak very well yet, but I'm learning, Portuguese is very difficult!" he says
I have tears in my eyes.
"This is the nicest thing anyone did to me!" I say through the tears.
"But, we're friends till this contract is over! I don't want to see the man I'm dating, going out with someone else."
"So if at the end of the contract, we still feel the same way towards each other, we get back together!" I look at him and he has tears in his eyes
"Even if it pains me, I prefer that way too. I don't want to hurt you more!"
Harry hugs me
"Eu também tive saudades tuas!" I whisper
