She didn't get to know him then, after all those years. "And they're apparently not entirely your fault." He came to realise Carter'd been ignoring her too. Stupid boy. He was missing such a nice girl here.
Sighing a little, he ran his hand through his hair. "Do you remember how we used to be so close when we were dating?" he asked all of a sudden, leaning on a little to her, his blue eyes locked to her green ones. "I miss those times..." A lot. He missed how nice they used to get along. Life had been much simpler back then. It was OWL free for one, and Marie didn't hate him. Well, even though she claimed she didn't hate him at all, he could clearly see they weren't the same. She was more distant, which saddened him. Sure, no one could be more distant than Mina who ABANDONED him to go to France. He missed her a lot too, just like he missed being close to Marie. Leaning just a little bit more to her unconsciously, he kept looking into her eyes, as if he was lost in them.
Marie could feel a small smile forming on her face as Evan said he could never be tired of her.
"Thanks, that means a lot hearing you say that," she said. Evan had been her first male friend she made at school and the thought of losing that friendship hurt.
"I know I'm to blame for some of what has happened with Carter, but it's really not all my fault. I have tried talking to him and each time it's like he can't stand being around me for more than two minutes so he makes excuses to leave." Like earlier today in the nursery. It was so obvious now that he didn't want to have anything to do with her so why did she keep trying?
Oh no, he was sighing and running his hands through his hair. This was not a good sign. Was he about to say something she wasn't going to want to hear again? Maybe she should just langlock him now before he said anything.
Too late...
He spoke, although it was nothing like what she was expecting to hear him say. Again he left her speechless as he gazed into her eyes.
"Yeah, I remember," she said finally finding her voice... sort of. How could she forget, he
was her first boyfriend. Now that she thought about it, he was the first for several things. First male friend, first boyfriend, first boy she kissed. So yeah, no matter how bad things got with them she would never forget the good times they had.
"I miss those times too," she whispered as she continued to look into his eyes too only to realize he was leaning just a little closer to her.
Knowing she should probably back away a little she couldn't seem to make herself move. It was like he had her hypnotized or something.
