Sitting Alone in the August Sun

Emotion

Part 5

---Ava's POV---

I looked at the light from the August moon streams through the curtains like rivers of moonlight. I still feel a little dizzy but a lot better than before. We are both sitting completely silent not saying a word. It feels awkward so I try to make small talk.

"So what do you do for a living. "

I say

"I take photos, you can capture so much emotion in one picture, I really enjoy doing it,"

He says and smiles a smile that looks forced.

I feel like Liam's broke too, like he understands me.

"That's cool"

I say.

I look into his chocolate brown eyes to see if they show emotion, but I can't see anything. Whatever he's feeling he must be good at hiding it. I wish I was like that, but I have never been able to hide my emotions. You can just look at my face and see what I am feeling. I used to always try to get people to open up to me but this is the first time since my Prince Charming died that I have wanted a person to open up to me. We make awkward small talk tell Liam says,

"I have to leave,"

"Okay maybe I will see you soon,"

I reply

"Maybe,"

He says and get up and walks toward the door.

As I watch him walk my oak door out I vow to myself that I Ava will get Liam to open up to me. I haven't felt this enthusiastic in a very long time. I doze off on my brown couch watching the August moon.
