"Maybe we're supposed to be each other's true love" he said.

"You're in love with Simon" he assumed.

"Then why don't you feel the same about me" he said slow and clear trying to hide the hurt from his voice, but failed.

"I don't know" I said softly, " I don't feel the need to fall in love. Or even date anyone for that matter. It just doesn't feel right for me"

He said nothing and pulled the car back onto the road.
