The curious looks the waitress gave him annoyed Severus, he didn't stop his glare this time but he did mutter a thank you for the food. He knew he wasn't good enough for someone as perfect as Lily but he didn't need a waitress to point it out to him with looks like that.
He looked at his hand and then at the food, then looked back at his hand. He knew he had to let go but he was afraid that it would break not just a physical connection. He took a deep breath and released Lily's hand but he did not move his hand away just yet. Was this going to be the end of the dream?
