Summary
Finally, I said, “Wow,” which was always my go-to when I was speechless.
He nodded as if I’d voiced something profound. “Yeah. So, we are better in small doses, I think. Like with your pills and my needles. Just a fix, once in a while. Not addicts. See what I mean? We need space.” He waved a hand to indicate the small distance between us on the couch.
I laughed again, more out of befuddlement than humor. “This still sounds very much like a break up.”
He sighed and leaned his head back for a minute, while I examined his shadowy profile, his elegant hooked nose. “Okay, fine. Maybe it is break up.”
“But we’re not…”
“Are we not?” he cut me off, lifting his head to fix me with his sharp, dark gaze.
I stared back at him blankly, mouth hanging open, like an idiot. He rolled his eyes at my expression and muttered, “Jesus Christ, Potter.” Then he reached over to grasp me by the back of the neck and kissed me.

Summary
Seeing him here, in New York, surrounded by the deep browns and golds of Hobart and Blackwell, is so alien to me I have to repress the urge to pinch myself like a child would after a dream. It looks incorrect, him standing here. Like someone has taken a pair of scissors to my memories of him, cut him out of his rightful place on the abandoned playground, and pasted him sloppily into a corner of my life where he doesn’t belong. Has it only been a few weeks? It feels like ages longer, like it’s been a decade, like we’re different people trying to see what exactly we liked about each other so much way back when.
But then he says it again- “Potter.”- and that feeling vanishes as quickly as it arrived.
“You came,” I say dumbly.
He gives a cheery smirk that I don’t believe. “Promised I would.”
