Page 10 of Roman and the Hopeless Romantic
Maybe it wasn’t a bad thing he was leaving. Then she couldn’t cause him anymore pain. He’d find friends who’d laugh with him and go out to have fun, not ones who abandoned and ignored him.
Not friends as screwed up as she was. She mentally slapped herself, imagining Annie telling her not to call herself screwed up.
Roman pulled back, putting distance between them. “Cass, even though we haven’t been friends in a long time, I’m going to miss you.”
She studied his red-rimmed eyes. Had he been crying? The charming, egotistical, always-joking man?
Somehow, it brought him down to earth a bit, made him more human.
When she didn’t say anything else, he smiled sadly and walked down the hall to the door. Once it shut behind him, she finally released the words she’d been trying to say.
“I’m going to miss you too.”
