Sauntering towards Isaac, she stood next to him and asked a question which she could not recall. He answered accordingly, lacking the usual enthusiasm.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see him stealing glances. Like he always did whenever she wasn't hanging around him. Inwardly she grinned. Something's constant, at least.
Just as he started on another glance, she turned her head slightly towards him and cast a genuine smile. He stared at her in silent, his lack of playful smile and mischievous glint didn't go unnoticed.
To say her heart was crushed would be the understatement of the year.
And she woke up with a jerk.
