He was surrounded by girls from the moment he stepped through the doors of Hogwarts. He made friends, lost a few, only to hope to make amends. But, it was something about Marilyn from the moment he met her at Diagon Alley. She wasn't like the other girls. Yes, she sometimes had a bit of an attitude, but that just added to her character. He liked a girl that had to rely on a guy, she was very independent. He was there when he was down and always could bring him up. Marilyn made him happy, but now her presence was tormenting. He only hoped they could somehow talk their way through it.
She stepped out into the crisp air and sighed. Her eyes immediately sought out Rafe. He was standing off to the side, clearly waging some mental battle within himself. She'd done this. Marilyn should have never told him that she'd liked him. Maybe he wouldn't look so tortured if this morning would have never happened...but Gods!! It was all she could think about...and if it weren't for Carter, she'd be begging for a repeat.
She approached him slowly. "Rafe?"
