What could've been, What should've been.
Hunter's life hadn't been the same without Ophelia gracing him with her presence. Which they both knew, ultimately was his fault. Even with her constantly messaging him or calling him - each thing going unread or sent straight to voicemail. He couldn't bear to look at her still. Her constantly telling him she didn't hate him made him hate himself that much more. How could she not hate him? He didn't understand that. Couldn't understand that. But then eventually that had changed. Everything seemed to change between the two. It had started the night he finally started reaching back out to her. And just kept going to the night she met him at the rink, skating over to him. Fu ck, the way he had cried that night.
It had been a few months since then and they still haven't brought up the kiss the two had shared that night. Should they have? He hadn't been expecting it - though he also hadn't expected her to skate onto the rink. And words couldn't express how proud he was of her. Sure, she'd probably never be able to enter competitions again, but they could still skate together. Unofficially, of course. "This could either break my heart or bring it back to life." The words were whispered softly during yet another -not a date- night of pizza and beer and movies. But then Ophelia was looking over at him fondly and maybe she was right and they should just stop dancing around each other. But what a beautiful dance it was. A true story of the will they, won't they. Rumors had flown constantly around the two dating. Engagements and marriages. Breakups. But the two had been nothing more than best friends. But if her words now and her kissing him that day meant she was willing to try this out? Was he? Absolutely. A quick glance to the clock. 8:05. Why did that even matter? Maybe because she was right. This would either be the time they broke each others hearts or finally bring each other back to life. Because they had both been broken.
"Maybe it means nothing when you hold my hand... But maybe we've both been dancing around this for too long. So... if you're in, I'm in. One hundred percent, Bambi. And you know when I give one hundred percent, I give one hundred percent." He waits a moment either for her to agree or disagree before he's leaning in and pressing his lips to hers.
