I hadn’t realized how much I missed this place until I was already sunk into a cracked leather booth, a half-warm beer sweating against my palm. The table was crowded with familiar faces—voices overlapping, laughter easy, someone teasing me for disappearing without warning. It felt seamless, like I’d never left at all.
Still, my attention kept drifting toward the door.
I told myself it was habit. That I was just taking it all in. But the empty seat across from me stayed open longer than it should’ve, and I kept imagining her sliding into it, bumping my knee on purpose, asking about the trip like she hadn’t already followed every update online.
The pub door opened again.
For a heartbeat, everything lined up the way I’d pictured it. She stepped inside, smiling, hair pulled back, scanning the room like she was looking for us. My chest tightened with something close to relief.
Then he followed her in.
His hand settled at the small of her back as they walked, easy and familiar. She leaned into the touch without thinking, laughing at something he said. Not polite. Not distant. Comfortable.
The conversation around the table blurred. Someone said my name. I nodded without hearing it, eyes fixed on the way she guided him toward us like he belonged here. Like this was normal.
I force a smile, careful and controlled, lifting my glass in greeting—like I hadn’t just realized that while I was gone, she’d found someone who stayed.
