I need some time just deliver the things that I need for now
Everything that I feel's like a warm deep calm casting over me
And it's taking me to somewhere new

Calum held the door open for Mae as she stepped into the car waiting for them. He slid in next to her and waved to the driver, to take off. He knew to take the longest route to Mae's flat.

"What is this all about, Cal?" She asks as the hum of the engine starts and they pull away from the curb.

She's calling him by his nickname- which is good. She tucks a golden curl behind her ear and he's momentarily stunned by her gracefulness.

She still looks the same as she did a month ago when they fought. Her shoulder-length hair is in its usual careful and precise curls. Her bright green eyes still shine like they first did when he met her 8 years ago.

"Cal?" She asks again and he finally answers her.

"Maybe I just wanted to see you," he says teasingly, though everything he says is the truth.

She turns her head, but he can see her smile. She misses him, he knows she does. Mali, her best friend, (and his sister) tells him repeatedly how miserable Mae has been and how much she regrets their fight last month.
