"The reason I asked us to meet up was because I have good news to share." Raya began, cheeks stretched out in a wide smile as she stared at me from across the table between us. Once upon a time I still held a little anger towards her, but that was now in the past. I had fully moved on from that incident and i’ve grown to genuinely care for her once again.

"How long were you two together?" I asked and she hummed.
"About two months." She revealed and I paused the drink I was about to sip on.
