Cassie could only wonder if he just missed her as a friend or was that look meant something more as she continued to gaze into his eyes.

Her heart twisted in anticipation, wishing for him to think of her more than a friend. But her mind kept warning not to expect too much from his kindness, frightened that she was setting herself up to fail.
