One night, Maya lay in bed, her phone pressed to her ear. “I miss you,” Ethan said quietly. There was no hesitation. No games. Maya smiled softly into the darkness. “I miss you too.”

You've never once put your arm around me." He frowned, clearly not following. My gaze cut into him. "But when the two of you sat on that rooftop looking at stars, what was the distance then? Five centimeters? Zero?" "When you were helping her through that stream, you had your arm around her. What was that distance?" "I'm not talking about bodies, Renato.

, I said. "And short as fuck ". "When is your closet break?", I asked. "Next month ". I groaned "How long is it going to last?". "Like a week". I groaned again. "I hate long distance ", I mumbled. "We're in the same country", I said. "And you're 7 million kilometers away from me ", I grumbled. "Friday is in two days, and then I'll get to see you again ". "I can't wait ", I said smiling.

“Even if he doesn’t reject you, the plan still works.” I snapped my head up. "How?" And why was I still taking advice from her? Oh, Zach would have a field day with me if he ever learnt about what happened. "Distance." She answered it simply, like the answer was very obvious and I was just too stupid to grab it. "If you stay far away from the man for just long enough, the bonds weakens on its own. Weakens enough to fade until it is no more." "Fade?" “Yes,” Rhea replied. “Eventually, it’s like it was never there.”

“You love this boy? For real love, not just ‘he’s hot and my parents hate it’ love?” Mia stared at the water. “Yeah. I think so. It started as a crush but… it got real. He sees me. Not just Jake’s little sister.” Lisa nodded slowly. “And does he love you back? Or is he just along for the ride?” “He says he does. But everything blew up and now we’re doing this break thing.
