Darcy Edwards sat on a park bench feeling lonely. She had just come home from Kenya and had assumed her parents and sister would be so happy to see her that they would drop everything and spend time with her, I mean after all she had been away for awhile. But she was wrong. It wasn't like they weren't happy to see her; they were….for the first night. After that, they retuned to their busy lives like she wasn't even there; Clare either at school or with friends and her parents busy with work or shouting at each other.

She sighed and looked down at her feet.

"Darcy?" a quiet voice asked. She looked up into the baby blue eyes of Peter Stone.

"Peter?"

She stood up, wrapping him in a hug. In their embrace, Darcy could feel the warmth of his body, the beating of his heart.

"So how have you been?" He asked, stepping away and sitting on the bench.

"Good, just got home from Kenya." She said, taking a seat to next to him, their legs touching.

"Meet any guys there," he said with a smirk, nudging her.

"A couple," she smiled. "But none that were worth it. How about you? Meet any lucky ladies?"

"Sorta," Peter said looking down, thinking of Mia.

There was an awkward pause, so Darcy decided to change the subject.

Peter and Darcy didn't stop talking for the next hour, reminiscing about better times or telling new stories. They laughed, they smiled, and they flirted, when all of a sudden the talking stopped.

Peter and Darcy gazed into each others eyes, both knowing where this was heading. Peter leaned in; close enough that Darcy could smell the familiar scent of mint and chocolate on his breath. Closer and closer they got, glancing between each others eyes and lips.

Their faces were centimeters apart, Peters lip grazed hers just the slightest, them soft and familiar.

Suddenly Darcy jerked back, quickly turning her head away from Peter. She snuck a glace at his face, his expression filled with hurt and confusion.

She stood up firmly, brushed off her jeans, angrily grabbed her bag, and walked off with out a word.

She could not fall for Peter Stone. Not again.
