I went to the park on Saturday with Harry, you know the one I was telling you so much about. We took a walk in the park, you know the one we used to go to when we were little? We played twenty questions with each other with the exceptions of I couldn't ask about England and he wasn't able to ask about our last name. I wonder why he moved all the way across the country? I told him about you, well not about you but your name, he asked me if I had any siblings and I told him your name. He doesn't like talking about his family or past which you could say he is a lot like me. I hate talking about the past now. Maybe we are more alike than I thought. Although he doesn't believe in love. I wasn't clear on why we doesn't but he told me that love simply doesn't exist. I wish I knew what made him believe that, maybe why he moved from England is correlated with it.

I had him over for dinner and we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with goldfish and red wine. It was an incredible day, I haven't had a day like that in a long time. A day where I have been completely and utterly happy, I didn't want it to end. I hated to see him leave my apartment but I knew that he had to go. But that's the thing, I didn't want him to go. I wanted to beg him to stay. I wished he would have stayed.

Last weekend had been amazing, there was simply no other words for it. I found myself constantly thinking about Harry no matter what I was doing or what time of day it was. I wanted to be talking to him all the time even though I knew this wasn't possible since we both had our own lives to deal with.

"I feel like we haven't talked in a long time." Elena began when our client left.

"I'm sorry, I've just been a little busy lately." I told Elena putting down my camera.

"With Harry?" Elena winked at me.

"Not like that!" I rolled my eyes at Elena who was looking for a rise out of me. "Obviously you didn't listen to me last time we talked about this."

"Whatever you say Row. You just wait and see." Elena called me by my nickname everyone had called me throughout the years.

"Wait and see what?" I asked her puzzled.

"Rowan, you like Harry more than a friend trust me on this one." Elena explained to me.

"No I don't! All we are is friends." I don't know if I was saying this to convince myself or Elena.

"I know whatever I say to you now won't matter to you but, just wait a little longer and you will see what I see." Elena's bangs were side swept while the rest of her light brown hair hung a little below her shoulders in soft curls.

"How's your relationship with Netflix by the way?" I was quick to change the topic.

"He's got me hooked if you know what I mean." She nudged me and I giggled.

Elena was never one to stay with a guy for very long. Shane made sure of that. When Elena and I were seniors in high school she met Shane at a wild party. Even though half the population at the party was drunk they still kept in contact after it all. They really hit it off, I had never seen Elena so whipped with anyone. She gave everything to Shane until one day he decided he could get something better.  He let her go without warning,  leaving her on the floor with broken pieces of her heart scattered all around her. I had never seen Elena so upset over someone before, it took her a long time to get back to who she used to be.

"You should put yourself out there again." I told Elena who arched an eyebrow and laughed at me.

"I'm serious!" I raised my voice a little nudging her.
