Apart By More than Words

Chapter 4

You want a hole in my head.

You want a space in my bed.

Seeing Nate's face after all this time. Is bringing me back to a carefree and simpler time. Serena thought to herself as she looked at him. As he started to speak.

"I got your letter." He said smiling his eyes full of that warmth and sense of home she missed.

"Glad to hear it." "How is the family?" "And Jenny?" She asked through gritted teeth.

"Everyone is good." "Jenny and I are a couple have been for about a year now." Nate said happily as he looked away. "Sorry to be going on about my relationship." "When you're going through a rough time." Nate said putting his hand on her arm.

"Nate it's fine." "The divorce has been final for some time now."

"The both of us have moved on." Serena said looking to him. "It's really good to hear about the two of you." Serena said as she looked into his eyes.

"You're a really good guy Nate Archibald." She said to him. Unable to look away.

"Still the most alive, beautiful, person." "I've ever known." Nate said back to her. "If you ever want reflect alone, together, I'm here." He said smiling softly as he kissed her cheek.

Not realizing she had started blushing until she checked her face in her make up mirror.

"I've got to go meet Jenny." "Welcome back S!" Nate said to her smiling as he took off.

Stop thinking about him. His smile, Those eyes, That warm caring protective nature. You aren't allowed to go there with him. He wanted me for so long. And I broke his heart over and over. Maybe his happy ending is supposed to be with Jenny?

Serena thought to her herself as she looked at her phone and checked the time. She had to leave now if she was going to meet her brother for brunch. Serena got into her car and followed the address.
