"Wait for you at Heathrow?" Aunt Jo asked, knowing fully well what the answer would be even before I gave her a small nod.
"Heathrow?" His confused gaze went between my aunt's retreating form to my hesitant one. "What's going on, Aly? You guys going somewhere? Is it Paris? Can I come?"
He tried to make light of the awkward situation we were in, but the tightness in his eyes betrayed the hurt already starting to surface. We weren't going to Paris. Not even close. By this point, my silence had already provided him the answer he was looking for.
"Aly?"
I wanted... needed to explain. I owe him that much.
"I think I need a cup of coffee," I plucked up the last of the courage left in me and spoke. "Join me?"
"You're scaring me, Aly."
"Come on, Zayn! What's a cup of coffee between friends?"
Friends. That's probably all that we ever would be. But to a girl like me, that's more than I could ever wish for.
