"Have you thought about my proposal?" his words halted Valerie in a midway. Just a few minutes ago, they were talking about it and Mia had warned that procrastination would make things ugly. Who would have thought that her words would turn true this early.
She gulped as she turned back with an awkward smile on her face. She did not know how to explain it without telling the truth or breaking his heart.
"Uh, about that" she hesitated and he nodded vigorously.
Valerie came and sat back in front of him. "Uh Rehan, I want to tell you something."
"Hmm, what is it?" he asked, his eyes anticipating the reply.
"Uh... I don't know how to say that... But'' she stopped hesitating, "I don't think it would work out." she said it finally, closing her eyes. At least she is getting over it.
