Ryan, covered his mouth with a small sigh, his eyes left yours…it’s been weeks since you’ve seen him…months since you’ve seen him smile.

He picked up his fork, stabbing slightly at his half eaten steak…”Because it feels like we’re chasing pavement…” He referred to your relationship quietly, his gaze still on his food.

Ryan was best friend, your lover…was. With both of you traveling so much for acting…there’s been distance.

“I love you…” The words didn’t feel completely natural anymore…Ryan looked around the restaurant momentarily before his gaze finally returned to you.
