ִYou would known Leo for a while; his amusing but devoted personality drew you in. His smile and soft eyes when he looks at you in admiration. Perhaps this is why you fell for him; he was the ideal guy and partner for you. You had luck on your side. When Aphrodite saw the expression Leo gave you, he asked you to be the woman of his dreams.

You and Leo would do those fall-themed activities that couples would do—pumpkin patches, matching fall clothes, jumping in leaf piles—everything was great, perfect, even if you did not know what was wrong when Leo broke up with you. It devastated your heart, but it also deepened the rift that he had with your best friend.

Of course, you could not just abandon your best friend because they dated your ex-boyfriend. But every time Leo and your friend came close to something you used to do, a sensation of déjà vu hit you.

Leo was on good terms with you; he considered you a friend, but he could not picture himself being anything more than that. It was not meant to happen.

Today was no exception; you sat on the sidelines, carving a pumpkin. Your friend and Leo are craving pumpkins also. Their laughing mingled as he helped guild your friend's hand. "Y'know exactly what you're doing," he smiled, letting out an airy laugh as he kissed their jaw.
