There's silence on the drive back to the hotel.

I'm still conflicted about Pete trying to kiss me. What if he tries again? Doesn't stop even? I doubt he'd be the kind of guy to do that, but you can never be too sure.

I'm still avoiding his eyes, mine concentrated on the road as we drive back toward the hotel.

"How about we go back to the docks?" He suggests quietly, "We could get Starbucks or something."

"Okay." I reply. There's more silence soon after, Pete leaning to watch out the window as we pass the Space Needle and continue back down the highway to the hotel.

We return to the hotel and get out of the car once it's parked by the valet. Pete stands by my side as I hand over the keys and after a moment to make sure he has it, the two of us leave, heading across the street to get Starbucks (because there's at least one at every block).

We get a coffee, and after an extremely awkward time of walking together in silence, he breaks it.

"So are you excited for the concert?" Pete asks.

"Yeah," I reply with a small smile, "I think it'll be cool..."

Pete bites his lip and after a moment, pulls me closer by my side, sipping from his coffee as we continue to walk down the rainy docks.

"What's your favorite song?"

"I'm Lost Without You."

"Why?"

I look up at him.

"Because it makes me think of the relationship I've always wanted, but I can never have."
