A/N: So, you all are so amazing. Seriously, I thought no one would pay attention to my other story, Memories and Grapefruit, but it was hope that made me put it up. And I was blown away with the responses and favorites. So thank you!
This is just a short, short one-shot. I saw this part again on "In The Light", and had to write a take on something I noticed. So reviews and constructive criticism are welcome. In fact, I love both.
"Hey, you know the story about Henry and Jai's mom, right?" Auggie asked, looking only slightly to the right of me.
I turned to look at his face, and heard the excitement enter my voice as I replied, "No." I probably looked like a school girl about to hear huge news, but I didn't care. I was extremely curious.
"Well, she was his asset when he was stationed in India." Auggie said, all sorts of seriousness painted on his face. "Her cover was blown," He continued matter-of-factly, "Henry married her. They became the Romeo and Juliet of the agency." He finished with a small shake of his head.
I had been listening intently to the story, but when he finished, and looked at me like that, like he could see me, I couldn't help but scan him with my eyes swiftly before saying, "That's romantic," a dream-like tone evident in my voice as I looked at him. When was the last time I had experienced romantic? Nevermind, I didn't want to think about it.
"It was," Auggie replied, "until he left her for a younger woman and then it just became a cliche." The small laugh in his voice was evident. I couldn't help but feel a pang that I had even said that it was romantic. I felt stupid. Nothing was truly romantic anymore.
But then I looked at Auggie once again. He had that same smirk that I loved and his hair was curling at the edges in his own cute Auggie way. He may not have been able to sense the romance, but I had. And I wasn't just thinking about the story.
A/N: Okay, so I'm not exactly sure that I like how this turned out. I feel like it could've been so much better. But oh well, I felt like I had to get it out there. So yeah. Reviews are appreciated (even constructive criticism). So thanks :)
Oh, btw, I know cliche doesn't have a little mark on the e. I couldn't figure out how to get it cause I don't use Word to write them. So yeah.
