"You are right, that is hypocritical of me." I said, I had always planned to forgive my friends, I just needed a bit of time.

"I am glad you agreed." Angelia said and the corner of her lips tugged upwards slightly like she was about to smile but she didn't. "What about our situation?" She asked.

"You have already handed in your resignation letter, right?" She asked.

"Yes, but that is after this semester. I meant, I will quit at once." I shrugged like it wasn't a big deal, and in the grand scheme of it all, it wasn't. I wanted her back more than I wanted my last semester. She blanched.

"I can't let you do that."

"And I will not let you risk expulsion." I said and her eyes narrowed.

"It is a good thing that we were not together because I won't allow you to lose last semester. I know how much you love your job."

Not as much as I love you, I thought, shocking myself speechless at the realization.

"Why do you care about that?" I asked softly when I was able to collect my thoughts.

"I hurt you." I added.

"Yes, you did but I haven't stopped caring about you just because you hurt me. I can't turn my feelings off, even though I might wish to." The last part was said in a whisper but I still heard it.

I didn't focus on that, though, instead I focused on the fact that she still cared even after what we had done. If she still had feelings for us, there was hope.

Slowly but surely, she changed me and while a piece of 'me didn't like that, I could also see how much she meant to me when she was starting to impact me as a person. There were few I would change for, and she was one of them. Drying my hands on my apron, I turned around and grabbed my phone, checking the text I had expected to be from Riccardo.

her. Thrill shot through me at the thought of seeing her after everything that had happened, the pain I had amassed yesterday in the ring was just a distant throbbing and my mind was too busy thinking of her to give any attention to the bruises. There wasn't a parking space near the cafe, so I had to walk a few minutes to get there. I didn't mind, though, it was a nice enough evening. The sun had set but the temperature was still warm.
