Owen leaned against his seat, staring blankly into the void. After a long moment, he finally started the car.

Hailey sat quietly, slowly pressing her lips together, turning to gaze out the window. The confined space felt stifling.

The drive was silent.

Instead of going to Charm, Owen stopped in front of a restaurant.

“Let’s grab something to eat before heading over,” he said softly, stepping out of the car.

They didn’t enter a private room, opting instead to sit in the main dining area on the first floor.

Hailey felt uneasy, sitting directly across from Owen. She didn’t look up, but she could feel his eyes on her.

She was afraid to meet his gaze. If she did, she knew that all her emotions–the sorrow, the longing–would be impossible to hide.

Owen studied her.

She had changed so much since a few years ago. Back then, she had been gentle, lively, and so real in front of him. But now, she was silent, avoiding revealing her true feelings.

They returned to the car, and as they settled in, Owen suddenly spoke. “We were together for a year, and then apart for five.”

Hailey lifted her gaze to meet his.
