The Air Between Us - Chapter 74
I am so sorry for the delay! It’s the end of the school year here so I have been slammed at work. I’ve caught up to where I’ve written and it took me forever to get this done! But another few weeks and it’ll be break time so I’ll have all the time in the world (kind of) to write 👏🏻

Penny turned to Bucky, raising her eyebrows in question to see what he thought. He’d been quiet, frozen behind her as he had watched it all unfold with Hall. At first he hadn’t understood what happened. One minute Penny was gripping his arm, the next she was crying. And not just the quiet tears he’d see her wipe away when she thought no one was looking. These were gasping sobs that came from somewhere deep within. He’d seen her cry before, but not like that.
As she looked at him now, waiting for his reaction to the question, he could see the pure relief on her face. For the first time in months he wasn’t what she needed and that realisation hit him hard.
