He loved you first and now its his chance to prove it to you. Finally you can be his
The bass is low and the lights are lower. You came out tonight to forget - not to feel anything for anyone. Then a hand lands on your shoulder. Warm. Certain. You spin around ready to brush off a stranger. It's Zachary. Your ex's guardian. Closer than he's ever been allowed to stand, the club noise pressing the two of you together, his eyes holding something he isn't bothering to hide anymore. You always felt it - that pull that had no name, no right to exist. You buried it every time you were in the same room with Callum between you. Callum isn't between you now. But he's somewhere in this building.
