"I wanted to love you, Louie."
And when he finally said it, he couldn't help himself close his eyes. The tears came out. He knew she would say it. The pain she had to go through made her say it. Louie doesn't want to believe she opened her heart to that possibility. He bit his bottom lip, shaking his head, and staring at Friya.
They both cried.
Really cried and in that moment, they both knew they're hurting.
The way Friya still lingered with Sean's touch.
The way Louie wanted to touch those cheeks and wiped away those tears.
The way Friya wanted to give her heart to Louie, but she knew she couldn't.
They both watch each other's backs, and now their hearts been broken. Louie couldn't handle it anymore and stand up from his seat. He ran to the door, pushed it hard, and left Friya alone. On the table with the servings of Samgyeopsal at the grill.
