XIV
By the end of July, beginning of August, you start talking to her more often. The pain mixed with anger starts dissipating and you find yourself missing her presence.
Charlie, Matilda and a few of your friends decide to spend a week in Spain, more specifically in Barcelona. You are unsure if to go with them or to stay. You don’t know if you’ll be able to handle the memories.
One night, you get a text from Cara asking you if you want to get a drink at Joe’s. You get all excited. Lately, you’ve been thinking about her way more that you probably should.
That’s until you mention your possible trip to Barcelona.
Her breath gets stuck in her throat.
"You’re going to Barcelona?" She asks after recovering.
"I don’t know." You sigh, "Probably not. The people that going are mostly couples."
"Oh." She nods slowly and plays with the straw in her drink, "I was thinking of having my birthday party there." She confesses.
You furrow your eyebrows.
"Are you serious?"
She nods and you hum absentmindedly, wondering if this just a strange coincidence.
"When are you going? If you go that is."
"From the 9th to the 15th." You quickly reply.

You sip on your drink. She stares out the window and you steal glances at her. You become aware your hand and hers are resting on the table mere centimeters away from touching.
"I miss you." You surprise her and yourself at your sudden burst.
She smiles.
"I miss you, too."
You blush.
You think it’s the Barcelona topic that has made you mellow.
"If you went to Barcelona you could go to my birthday party." She says so quickly you barely understood her, "–and your friends, of course. You’re not going to ditch your friends."
It brings you back to a night months ago when you fought over her wanting you to ditch your friends for her. You think she remembered too.
"I don’t know, Cara. It’s going to be awkward being with so many couples there. I’m the only single person there–"
