Coffee

Sometimes he remembers the first time they met, the way Evan was so engrossed in whatever book he was reading that he didn't notice the back he ran into at the cafe. Sometimes he remembers the first time they fought, the way they bought hurled accusations and insults thoughts that should have remained unspoken; he always remembers the reconciliation. Sometimes Leo remembers the last time they saw each other. He remembers the accusations, the regret, the tears, the desolation and pain; he always remembers not being the one to say goodbye. Sometimes, just sometimes, Leo regrets ever meeting Evan.
