My salad arrived looking sad and pathetic next to David's amazing-smelling pasta. I turned away from it, giving Cole a secret smile as he pushed his bowl of fries a little closer to me. I nabbed one and shoved it in my mouth, feeling naughty. I didn’t know why. I wasn't breaking any laws. It actually felt quite fun and mischievous to have an inside joke going with Cole.

David was oblivious anyway. He was in the throes of a discussion with Mitch, a fellow law student, about some suit to do with music copyright.

“It is total plagiarism. They can't do it.”

“I agree, but you have to look at the other party's viewpoint.”

I held my sigh in check, diving into my salad and waiting for the conversation to become more interesting.

Cole's words were gnawing at me. I loved his dream for the pub. The very idea of being a part of something like that thrilled me and made me wish I had dreams of my own.

But I didn't.

I'd never really considered what I wanted, because David had always been the answer. I wanted him and therefore I wanted his dreams, but did I really?

Law hardly pressed my buttons and although I did want a family one day, I now couldn't rid my brain of a 1950s housewife working her ass off in the kitchen while she looked after screaming toddlers and waited for her husband to get home from work.

What makes you happy?

I hated that question, because the answer should have been David. For the last three years, it had been, and I despised the fact that the simple answer wasn't cutting it anymore.

Nothing in my life made my heart want to fly right out of my chest...but I did remember feeling that giddy excitement years ago. Another memory surfaced as my mind wandered back to my pubescent self, sitting at a round kitchen table.
