“So the rumors are true.” Ollie said in lieu of a greeting from where he leaned against the Library wall, looking for all the world like he belonged there. The evening breeze couldn’t quite chase away the summer heat, but he still had a coffee in each hand. He’d been waiting for her - and had debated leaving a million times like the coward he was - when he’d caught sight of her leaving for the day.
“I kept telling people there was no way you were back. If Astrid was back, I said, she’d come say hello. And yet...” Ollie looked her over brazenly, trying to act like it was nothing, as if seeing her didn’t open an old wound that had never fully healed. “Here you are.” // @killyourdesires
