She approached him, know that she could hug him now and it would be okay. Her face fit into the crook of his neck as she held her friend tightly. "You're the best friend I have, Rafe. I love you so much it hurts my heart at times..." The Slytherin smiled as she breathed in Rafe's earthy scent. "I want you to be happy, though. If someone else can make you happy, go for it. I just ask one thing..." She pulled back, rubbing his tanned cheek. "Don't forget how much I love you...no matter what happens."
Rafe gave Marilyn a tight hug.
"I just want you to be happy and I'm sure Carter can give you all the happiness in the world." Rafe took a small step backwards to look her in the eyes.
"You're one of my best of friends too," Rafe took in a deep breath.
"I wonder if I mums ever got together, I told her about your family, I know my mum was looking for a social circle to become a part of," Rafe shrugged,
"I guess we'll find out over the summer."
Rafe smiled as she touched his cheek, it was so warm and comforting.
"Don't worry about me, I just can't bring myself to date someone when my heart belongs to someone else." Rafe forced a smile and gave a little laugh.
"We'll have to try and get together over the summer. You can look me up in Spinner's end!" Rafe said cheerfully, trying not to make things awkward. It was like they were renewed friends all over again.
