: Attempting To Mend Broken Ties || Clare & Eli

Eli stared at Clare searing desperately for a sign of insincerity; unfortunately he didn’t find it. She meant it but he didn’t want to forgive her. He didn’t want to let her back into his life if all that would be going to do was complicate it further. He was still in love with Clare wether he liked it or not, but he still really liked Imogen. Letting Clare back into his life would only complicate things. “Clare…” he began, “I won’t forgive you… I can’t forgive you…. But I will let you prove that you’re serious.” he looked up, into her eyes and forced a smile. “Friends?”

: Attempting To Mend Broken Ties || Clare & Eli

Eli didn’t like this. He didn’t like this at all. It had become a thing of his to avoid Clare Edwards at all costs. He had rules, guidelines for avoiding her: No eye contact, Little if any…

Suddenly, Eli wished he hadn’t asked what she wanted to talk about. He honestly didn’t expect an apology, nor had he ever asked for one, and honestly it just made him more angry. Clare hadn’t simply stepped on his toe, she had not only broke his heart, instead she had shattered it with full intentions of doing so. It was so like Clare to assume that an apology would fix everything, and just for that he wanted to scream at her., but he didn’t. He kept his impulses in check, not wanting to make a scene, not wanting to scare her. Instead, he cleared his throat and uttered in the most restrained voice he had, “Clare… Did you really think an apology would fix this?”

Eli nodded, studying his ring, “Right. I don’t even know why I bothered to ask,” he muttered, partially to himself. But someone else other than himself had to know that Fiona had been drinking. He couldn’t have been the only one, “But Adam knows …right?” He had to…

Eli shook his head, “Fiona, you do realize how serious this could potentially become, right? You need to let Adam know,” He put a hand on her shoulder and looked into her eyes, “You’re strong,” he said, with a reassuring smile, “And you can’t let whatever’s getting to you bring you back to this after all you’ve worked for.” He squeezed her shoulder before letting go and leaning back in his chair. “As for whatever’s going on, does Adam at least know about that?”

Clare had asked Eli if he had wanted coffee before they spoke, and Eli responded with a quick nod. Anything to postpone this chat they were about to have. They took their time walking up to the counter, Clare ordering a coffee, and Eli ordering an iced coffee himself. They waited awkwardly, side by side as the older woman behind the desk, fumbled and fiddled with another order. Eli tapped his fingernails, chipped with black nail polish, on the counter anxiously as he waited. Finally, they were handed their coffees, and before Clare could pull out her wallet from her bag, Eli payed for the two drinks from his own pocket. Without a word he took his drink back to their seat and set it down on the table. “… So what was it you wanted to talk about?”
