he was shocked to be reunited with her nonetheless , he was just not expecting it to be so soon . of course things would be awkward for the most part , seeing someone you thought you’d share a life with but that didn’t end up happening and it just fucked him up . life takes you through some unexpected shit , they both experienced it together , “ feeling a bit homesick , ” it was an embarrassing confession but he didn’t want to hide around it , “ you never answered my question , what are you doing back danica ? ”
maybe she was used to seeing him on tv or in the local newspaper , but she was this close to touching him to see if he wasn’t just a figment of her imagination . in the end , she ended up pinching her thigh — wincing as the sharp pain hit her , to make sure this wasn’t one of her dreams . " oh . i felt homesick to — wanted to see how mom and dad were doing , as well as the bakery . ” she said , offering a small smile . she could only wish that he didn’t remember how eager she used to be to leave town — that feeling homesick was a little out of character for her . “ it’s nice to see you again though . ” it wasn’t a lie , but it wasn’t the truth either . she was indeed happy to see him , but after three years of not seeing each other and spending that one year trying to get over him , she was scared that old feelings would resurface just because of this small interaction . then there was this whole hiding the truth that she never even left town in the first place to add to that . she’s really digging herself a deeper hole right now .
