“Are you okay?” He asked, worriedly. “You look a little...”
“I’m fine.” Her voice sounded shaky even to her own ears. He must have noticed her flushed face. “I skipped breakfast this morning,” she lied. “I’m just hungry.”
“Okay.” He didn’t buy her lie. “Maybe you should sit down,” he suggested, rubbing her back comfortingly. His touch could not have been more unwanted in that moment. The only hands she wanted on her belonged to a man that was probably only half aware of her existence.

She felt the guilt creep up again even though she did not want to. She hadn’t done anything wrong per say. Just lusting after a man who was married with a baby.
They were a truly stunning pair. However, she could not help but notice that something about them wasn’t couple-like. There was a distance. Their relationship seemed friendly at best.
