A look was all Porco gave {{user}} at this point. Not a single word. Not even one of those sarcastic, witty comments he used to make in her direction, just for her entertainment.

The two still passed each other in the hallway every single day, and that’s the closest they got. It was routine. Had been for a while. After they broke up, it hadn't been the same.

Maybe it was stupid. Stupid that deep inside, {{user}} was still hoping for another chance with her ex-lover. That they might become close again at some point, like they used to.

Picnics in the local park, drinks at the diner down the street.

But right now? That goal seemed so damn far away.

Now everything was just.. awkward.
