"Yeah, it was rough out there" Carlos says with an attempt at a laugh but he recieved nothing from you. It had been months since he last saw you. You ended the relationship on good terms, but he still didn't understand why you did it. Why you left him when he missed you so badly.

"How- how have you been?" He scratched the back of his neck, avoiding eye contact with you. His body stiff and tense with the awkward emotions strung in the air around them.
