TALKING TO PETER was something I had seriously missed over the time we had been broken up. Just being around him.

"I really haven't been up to that much." I shrugged, taking a small spoonful of ice cream from my cup. "Mostly just work and stuff like that. But Gwen and I did go to this one place that has the best Korean meatballs and I swear she got addicted to them. We go there all the time now."

"Yeah. No, I know."

"Have you been there?" I asked him. "It's honestly amazing."

"That place on 6th. I know. You love it there."

That made me pause. I hadn't even gone to the place until after I had last talked to Peter.

"How do you know that?" I questioned and he just ate a spoon of his ice cream.

"Hmm?" He acted as if he didn't hear me.

"How did you know that I love it there?"

He kept his back to me and avoided looking at me, instead giving his attention to the tree beside us.

"Because... Because you told me."

"It only opened last month." I stated and he laughed awkwardly, looking down. "You've been following me, haven't you?"

He looked up, but didn't say anything. He just moved his face behind the thin trunk of the tree, like he was hiding his face.

"I knew it." I shook my head. "I knew it. How often?"

He hesitated before answering. "Just once a day. Sometimes. Sometimes more."

I smiled before forcing myself to drop it. "Why? To make sure I'm safe? Because you miss me?"

"And..."

"And, what?"

"And because it's the closest I can get to still being with you." The way he spoke. The way he looked at me.

I wanted to kiss him so badly, and then he started moving closer, leaning in to kiss me.

So I thought that was a perfect time to just rip the bandaid off.

"I'm moving to England." I told him and he, very slowly, pulled back.

"What?" His eyes flitted around my face.

"Probably." I clarified. "It's just... I've already been thinking for a while that I want a fresh start. To get out of New York and live somewhere else, maybe just for a while. And now Gwen's up for this scholarship to Oxford and it's between her and this, like, 14-year-old genius kid and she's got this oral exam thing, so I told her... Y'know, I'll move with her."
