"i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry."
"isha—"
"no, harry," isha says, placing her cold, tiny hand on his larger, warmer one, "you deserve every single apology in the world and i'm an idiot for doing what i did, and i don't expect you to forgive me, but i really want to apologise for as long as you'll let me."
"isha you did nothing wrong," harry says, gaze still averted, lips still in a frown, "and i'm the idiot for letting someone come between us."
"but i did, harry, i shouldn't have let him kiss me, i should've known he would do something like that—"
"isha!" john yells, beckoning her over, even though there is no one there, the line to the cart absent.
unlike harry and isha, not everyone loves ice cream in spring.
"go," harry says softly, a chewed off smile on his face, sparkling green eyes reminding her of deep waters, calm waves, and everything wonderful in the world. it takes effort for isha to leave, leave their tree, but she does eventually, a frown on her face.
"what, john?" she begins, hands on her hips, feeling harry's gaze burning into her back, "there's no one here."
"here," he says, grinning his signature, toothy smile as he holds out two cones of suspicious purple looking ice cream, "i'm so fucking glad you guys are talking again, because nobody buys the weird flavours except him. these are on the house, by the way."
"john," isha coos, equally sweetly, taking the cones from his hands as she says, "i'm young, not an imbecile. these are new flavours and you're trying them out on us, aren't you?"
john brushes her off then, turning his attention back to the cart, giving isha the cue to walk back to harry, handing him a cone as she settles down beside him, body pressed into his side, his warm breath blowing across her hair. isha smiles to herself, down at her cone, thanking all of the gods above that led harry back to the cart, back to his favorite place, but this time for her — not the mint choco chip.
"isha," harry says, voice still soft, just as unsure, "are you sure about us? because i—"
"i've never, ever, ever been surer about anything else in my life."
