I didn't like being rough with her, but this had to stop. I didn't hurt her, but I wasn't gentle.
"Harry, let go of me", she whimpered.
"Not a chance in hell", I yelled, making her jump.

It would've been much more stealthy if I could've just texted Dani, but I accidentally left my phone in Gwen's car.
I brushed the piece of paper I wrote against Dani's leg underneath the table.
She looked at me, confused, as I looked at our waiter to get his attention and asked him for a double Whiskey Sour.
"Eleanor Imogene Rein. We're gonna have to carry you out of here", Liam said, chuckling out the last word.
"Li, I'm fine", I said with genuine love toward him as I saw Dani's head lower, reading what I wrote on the paper.
I saw her lift her head up a little and look at me with an expression of urgency and worry on her face.

She pointed at the pen I still held under the table and gestured for me to give it to her.
We wrote back and forth like kids in high school, trying not to get caught.
Thankfully, everyone was distracted. They were asking Liam about a cute new intern that he told us about. She started working at the hospital a couple of weeks ago and everyone was encouraging him to ask her out.
Dani wrote one last thing and I glanced at her with a nod. She silently crumpled the paper, casually dropped it into her purse, then straightened her posture.
"So! We ready?", she asked cheerfully, forcing a smile that everyone bought.
We planned to go to Niall's to have some drinks and play pool. Niall had also invited some guys that he met through work, Max and Peter, who everyone really liked.
Once we got there, Max and Peter arrived shortly after. Dani and I said hello to them and while they talked and poured drinks, we slipped away and went into a bathroom.
I shut the door while she got a cigarette out of her purse.
Normally, I'd get annoyed and brutally chastise her for smoking, but right now we just stared at each other.
"Is this...I mean....El. Is this our business?"
I stood there biting one of my fingernails, images of what I saw in the restaurant bathroom flashing through my mind.
"God. I....I don't know, but....", I said, shaking my head. ".....Dani....if you'd have seen w-"
We immediately stopped talking when someone knocked on the door. Dani turned on the sink and ran her cigarette under the water.
