The weather was cool and quiet. By the time Harry and Arianna made it out of the office and into the parking lot, most of the cars were gone. Harry ushered Arianna to his Lamborghini and pulled the door open for her.
"Nice ride, do we need to take your car though? We could take the bus. It is comfy and full of people who smell nice"
"Get in Arianna" harry said calmly.
"Yes sir" she slid in and harry shut the door behind her. The ride was silent except the radio that sang in the background.
"Thank you for not causing a scene earlier" Arianna said breaking the silence.
"Why would I do that? I mean you only disappeared the night I was going to propose, it's no big deal"
Arianna's eyes widened she hadn't known Harry was going to propose to her. When Arianna left her small town to the city she was overwhelmed and found it hard to fit in that was when she met Harry, he was kind, smart and funny. They were like two Einstein peas in a pond, they complimented each other and were rivals pushing themselves beyond their limits. She loved Harry. They dated for two years before the accident.
"I didn't know"
"Oh come on Arianna you are smarter than that. You disappeared for three freaking years without a call or text!" Arianna had never seen Harry so angry before, but he had every reason to be. But Arianna was hurt too.
"You are not the victim here!" she retorted
"Oh great and I'm guessing you are?"
"It hurt to leave you behind. Do you know how lonely it was? Do you know how many times I had to cry myself to sleep? Do you how many times I wanted to run back to you?"
"Then why didn't you?"
"I did it to protect you!" Arianna hadn't realized she was crying until she tasted the saltiness. Harry pulled over and sat in silence letting Arianna cry.
"That isn't your job, I'm the one who is meant to protect you. But guess you didn't trust me to do that and I get it"
"That wasn't what happened, I was scared I lost my parents that night I couldn't bare to lose you too"
"When I heard what happened on the news I was scared too. For you and mostly for me so I don't blame or resent you. For the past three years I kept thinking of what I could do but couldn't think of a single thing. So I decided not to think anymore, to forget the incidence, and forget about you and move on so I did"
"What?" Arianna's heart broke into a million pieces. She couldn't think straight, or find her breath. She had never gotten over Harry. Every day when she thought of him her heart raced. Every day she told herself she was protecting him, doing what was best for them both. But she was wrong she was foolish. What was she thinking that she could just come back into Harry's life like nothing happened.
She wasn't smart at all. In fact she was the dumbest person she has ever met. She could solve mysterious but not see what was clearly in front of her. On that day, she didn't lose just two people she lost three.
"Yeah I met someone else. She makes me happy more than I was ever before and I want to make her happy too"
"I see. That's nice. That makes me happy" Harry looked shocked she had expected Arianna to rage and make a scene or at least hit him "as long as you are happy I'll finally be at peace and maybe I can be too" Arianna smiled and for the first time in three years, she actually meant it.
"Are you still  in the mood for dinner?" Harry asked with a sad smile
"Im sure none of us is" Arianna cleaned her eyes and looked out the window. They were almost at her street.
"I'll just drop here. It's close to my apartment" Arianna said too embarrassed to show him where she lived. She should move she thought. She could afford it now.
"Are you sure?" He said looking around
"Yeah" Arianna got out the car. "Thank you once again"
"If you ever need anything, anything at all ask me I'll do anything for you" with that, he drove off. The breeze was cold against her face as she walked towards her apartment. She was devastated but most of all, she felt relief. She meant what she said, she wished happiness more than anything for harry and if she couldn't give it to him she would be happy if someone else could. She wondered if he meant what he said. If she asked him to come back to her, would he be able to do that?
"Was that your boss?" Arianna's grandmother had been walking down the street when Harry dropped Arianna off and drove off.
"No, it was harry"
"Harry is here? Oh my it must be fate" Her grandmother cheered  "So you two are getting back together right"
"No Abuela"
"But why? You two were perfect for each other and so in love. Your mother was always talking about you two"
"No, we are not because he has moved on with someone new who makes  him happy better than I ever could" the awkward stares from people around informed Arianna that she had been screaming at the top of her voice. Her Grandmother looked at her be wildered, Arianna wasn't the type to raise her voice but she wasn't the type to cry either but Harry had that effect on her
He made her who she was, who she never thought she could be, a person who could love with everything she got and never doubt it. When she felt tears run down her cheeks ,she ran to her room. 
Arianna cried herself to sleep that night just like she did many nights for three years.
