He kisses her one last time before letting go, and puts the car in drive.
“I missed you,” he looks at her, only for a moment before his eyes are back on the road.
There’s not much traffic, surprisingly, Talulah notes, so they drive in peace for the most part.
“I missed you, too,” Talulah agrees, reaching and messing with his beanie. He lets out a huff, one hand leaving the steering-wheel to fix the hat.
A moment of silence, before he talks.
“You did?” He asks while Talulah is trying to connect her phone to the radio.
She doesn’t look up from her phone, her finger scrolling through her playlists to choose a song from. “I did, what?”
“You missed me?” Harry asks, clearing his throat.
He sounds on edge, almost, so she looks up from her phone screen, finding his eyes on the road.
“What do you mean?”
He takes a bit to answer.
“You’ve been a bit– I don’t know, I guess I wanted to hear your voice more these past couple of days.”
She holds off on starting her chosen song for a bit, out of respect.
“What do you mean?”
“I wanted to call more, text more…”
She chuckles. “We’ve been texting!”
“I know!” He lets out a laugh, but it sounds forced– almost embarrassed.
“So? Harry, are you okay?”
“I am. I’ve just– I don’t know, I’m being silly. I missed you, that’s all.”
“And I’ve missed you,” she laughs, right hand reaching and thumbing at the spot on his cheek where she knows his dimple would be.
He smiles, and she feels the dimple under her touch.
“Okay,” he says, voice quiet, but the dimple doesn’t disappear.
She likes it.
She prefers it that way.
