How do you tell someone that he's not "the one"?
That he has everything a woman could ever ask for from a partner, and yet, he's not "the one"?
Not your one.
That he's a dream guy, but he's not "your" dream guy?
That no matter what he would do, he won't ever be "yours" and you would never be "his"?
Not anymore.
Angela knew that Andy didn't ask to meet that day because he was still hoping for something between them. Before today, she might have thought that was possible. But the moment they saw each other that afternoon, she noticed the way he looked at her.
It wasn't the same gaze he gave when he lovingly watched her.
It wasn't the same gaze he gave when he kissed her, when he hugged her, when they did more than just those things.
He had the same eyes but held a different gaze.
His eyes didn't harbor hate and for that, she was thankful—even though for a time, she hated what she did to him.
