There, there it was. He did react. It was small, just the slightest intake of breath, but she saw it. She wasn't imagining things. She could have smiled, had it not been for what he said next.
Feeling much like she'd just been punch in the stomach, her eyes sort of widened and she opened her mouth as if to speak but then squinted as if confused. Where had that come from? They'd been doing alright, running into each other... Instead she just shook her head, the cold truth of what he'd said all those years ago weighing heavy on her even now. "No, you... You just told the truth." She looked away. She wanted to go back to one minute ago, maybe have said something witty when she took her drink, so she wouldn't feel this way now.
