There he was, up ahead. Her heart skipped a beat when he returned her smile.
Just a few feet away now. Should she say something?
He eased her turmoil with a short joke, her laughter ringing down the halls. They never stopped moving. She replied with a quick quip, her pinky reaching out the tiniest bit to see if it could catch his skin. All she touched was air.
She looked back as they separated; was he doing the same?
He wasn’t.
Her smile wavered before dropping completely.
So she kept walking, away from him and to whatever awaited her next.
