anaubrey:
The brunette’s gaze briefly landed on the large green plant Harry had left for her when she was still back in New York as the tension left to hang in the air between them almost immediately shifted. A harmless object, somehow turned a silent witness and not so gentle reminder of everything that had transpired when she was back in her former hometown. That had everything to do with Veronica. Aubrey still didn’t know of just how much the other girl was aware. Was she still lying to her? Had Danny told her she had been the one to interrupt him late at night? She had expected the meeting to be nothing but uncomfortable. Still, she tried to remain friendly. Always wanting to believe the best in people, even after they had wronged her. Especially if they had never even had the chance to share their side of the story.
“I just got back from New York,” she answered her, honestly. She was sure her face was speaking volumes. Positive that Veronica could tell something was wrong in an instant. That things were far from how they used to be between them. “I’m sorry I’ve been so busy lately.”
DARK BROWN EYES FELT A LITTLE TOO WEAK to focus on aubrey. veronica knew what she had done to her friend (was she still rightful to consider aubrey as her friend after everything ? she doesn’t know, and she’s scared to know). this is one of the many times wherein she knew that walls would start to built itself up, and the tension in the air will become thicker than ever-- even if nothing will be done to finish the unfinished business.
in response to that, veronica offers a faint smile upon the announcement. does that mean danny’s back in town too ? the last thing she ever needed was to bump into him in the exact place that she and aubrey are now, and she promised herself that that phone call would be the last. “ did you have fun ? “ she asked, unsure if that was the right question. “ it’s fine. we all have our lives ahead of us. we’re both busy adults. “
