All harvey wanted to do, in that very moment, was hold her in his arms again. it was the feeling of her head against his chest, their arms intertwined, their heartbeats slowly syncing up together that had used to make harvey feel like he’d finally understood what love was. despite all the signs that love wasn’t for him – his parents, the industry, his past attempts that simply turned to shit … she was the one thing that left him with hope. breaking up was a mistake … she had said. he’d spent so many restless nights dreaming of her saying something like that, and while his heart was racing at a million miles an hour, his dreams didn’t prepare him with something to say back. “if i’m being honest … i-i think it was too.” when his eyes met hers, he felt his heart skip a beat, felt his chest flare up in a warmth he had forgotten. harvey gulped, his stomach flipping upside down as she continued. “no … no, why would that be crazy?” he felt his lips turn up into a small smile, sensing perhaps his feelings were still reciprocated. “god, you brought out the best in me, bebe. you still do.” harvey gulped; while his emotions were undoubtedly clouding his judgment, the logician inside wanted to know more. “where’s … where’s all this going, b? i just … don’t want to … don’t want either of us to get hurt.”
“i don’t want us to get hurt, either....” she trailed off, thinking of the pain she’d felt when they ended things before, how she’d felt like she’d lost a limb. “but breaking up made me think about a lot of stuff and i realized that no one i was with could compete with you.” bebe couldn’t tear her eyes from his and the way they looked into each other’s souls sent a familiar feeling straight to her heart, the same feeling that made her realize that this was what being in love felt like. “i was scared that our careers would break us up so i thought getting out in front of it was the best thing but i don’t think i understood at the time that what we had was so strong...now i think we know better. or at least i do. i know that i wouldn’t let anything come between us or overtake the way i feel about you.” bebe had never been this transparent with anyone in her life. she didn’t like to address the deep, intimate stuff in her life, preferring to keep everything positive and fun. “and...if you’ll have me...i think we should try again. because i don’t feel like myself without you.”
