Omigosh, it's been FOREVER since I've updated. I've been really busy. So,
as you all know, I only own Chloe. And now, onto the story!!!

Glancing up from his coffee, Danny looked at Evelyn. Neither of them had said much since they'd seen their four friends in the window. The conversation had turned into meaningless chitchat, and they were both feeling uncomfortable.
'Danny, you're really an idiot,' he mentally chided himself. 'You're out having coffee with Evelyn, when you should be patching up your relationship with Chloe.'
"Evelyn," he spoke her name out loud, breaking the seemingly endless quiet.
"Yes," she replied, outwardly startled by his voice.
"I think we both know that it's wrong to be here. You know that the reason I asked you was because you're my only link to Rafe, and the reason you accepted was because I was YOUR only link to him." There, he'd said it, gotten it off his chest. And the look on her face made him realize that he was right, and she had been thinking the same thing.
"Danny," she began quietly, "I'm glad you said something. You're right. I was grieving, you asked, and you're like Rafe. You're all I have left of him now." Glancing up at him, his eyes urged her to continue. "I hope that we can still be friends, but right now I need to leave, and you need to talk with Chloe."
Danny smiled as he said, "Evelyn, we'll ALWAYS be friends. And that's it. Friends. because we're both in love with different people." He sat and watched as she gathered her things and slowly made her way to the door.
Finally, she turned around and offered him a shy smile. "Danny," she spoke, looking straight in his eyes, "I really do hope that it works out with Chloe. I can tell how much you care for her, and she really does love you." With that, Evelyn turned and walked out into the darkness of the night.
Danny sat there as he contemplated his next actions. Finally, an idea popped into his head, and he paid the bill, and left to make arrangements.

Short, I know, but hey, at least I got SOMETHING up, right?
