The hug broke her. She wrapped her arms around his, tilting her head back against him and wept. Sobs wracked her chest but no sound emerged from her lips.

His words only add to the ache in her chest, as hers had stabbed him. "I think I'll only ever find a love like this once." she said softly, tears breaking her voice. No one could replace what Harper was to her. Had been to her. Nothing and no one could ever replace that. It was the one comfort she could not provide him.
He released her and she turned, face splotched with red from tears shed. "Friends then? In time I mean...friends?" she asked, hoped, wished. Perhaps it was the one small solace they could take, that someday, when the pain subsided, they could be just friends again.
