Dahlias POV

I make my way into the supermarket to pick up groceries for the week.

As I go to grab a cart, another person tries to take it as the same time as me.

"Oh I'm sorry- wait, Dahlia?" some man says to me.

I look up and recognize those green eyes.

"Har-Harry?" I ask shocked.

"How've you been? God it's been awhile. You look great by the way" he says with a big smile.

"I've been good how about you?" I ask trying not to be awkward.

"Good, hey, why don't we get a coffee or something?" he asks looking around.

"Harry, I'm married now" I tell him and his expression drops.

"Oh, well, congratulations" he says forcing a smile.

"Thanks, how about you?" I ask.

"No,no. I'm still stuck on someone" he says with a sad look.

"Okay just coffee" I say rolling my eyes.

"Just coffee" he says giggling.

We arrive at this small coffee shop and sit down.

"So your husband?" Harry asks.

"Mm oh he's good" I say just as my phone starts to ring.

"Hello?" I say.

"Mommy! Cameron won't give me the Telly remote back!" my daughter Stella says on the other line.

"Okay Stella honey, put him on" I say sighing.

"Cameron give her the remote please and behave! I'll be home soon. And be quest daddy's trying to get some sleep before work" I hang up.

"I'm really sorry about that" I tell Harry.

"You have kids?" Harry says surprised.

"Yes I do. A boy and a girl. Connor and Stella" I say smiling.

"You've done great in life. And who's the lucky guy? You still haven't told me his name" he says interested.

"Luke" I say looking down at my hands.

"Dahlia" Harry says putting his hands over mine.

I look up into his eyes.

"I'm sorry for deserting you. Seeing you now makes me realize how bad I fucked up. I'm just really fucking sorry" he says shaking his head.

I pull my hands away from under his and tears start to form.

"You should be sorry! You left me without a word, without a goodbye. You know how many nights I thought of you and cried? I still do" I say wiping my tears away.

"Shit I'm sorry. I love you Dahlia I haven't stopped. Have you?" Harry asks with hope in his eyes.

"No, but I have moved on" I tell him.

"I'm sorry but I have to go" I say taking my stuff and leaving.

On my car ride home I think about life after Harry left.

I went to college and started my relationship with Zayn. We dated for about a year until we both had our schedules and split cause of distance.

Luke and I found each other about a year later when he started at my college.

We started dating and then got married.

We had kids and it's just that simple.

I am happy, but there's still this part of me, a big part of me that misses my first true love.
