Snuffling up her tears, Aud shook her head and clung close to him. It wasn't even as though she liked Alfie like that. She just hated feeling so alone and confused and... wrong all the time. Being with Alfie had pushed those feelings to the side and she could at least pretend that everything was alright.
She shook her head again and finished for him. "You don't like me like that," her voice was full of self-deprecation and she kept her face against his shirt, a part of her aware she should be focussing on Alfie right now, not herself.
