"Is something going on between the two of you?" James curiously inquired. 

"No," Tina shook her head. "We are just friends." 

"Alright, since your friend is here, I will take my leave," he remarked. "I'll see you in the morning." 

After James left, Tina approached Ben. 

"Hey, what are you doing here?" She questioned him. It would be a lie if she said she wasn't happy to see him. 

After he cleared things out with her, they weren't in touch anymore. Neither he messaged her, nor she did. It was like they had mutually agreed to maintain distance between them. 

Though Tina was very disappointed and hurt, she managed to embrace her emotions and continue with her daily activities. She knew since the very beginning that there was a very slim chance of things working out between them. 

It was sad that things ended between them before it even started but maybe it was for the best. Maybe it was never meant to be.
