He placed his hands over the coins and then paused. He had to walk by her to leave the shop, and although he could always avert his gaze as he left he didn't want to show that she still had that much power over her. He hadn't looked her in the eye since that night, when she'd left him with hopes of a future and never returned.
As he passed her, he found the strength to look her in the eye. He was physically bigger, taller, but he felt smaller when his eyes met her warm brown ones. "Maybe for you," he said, trying for cold and harsh but ending up somewhere between hurt and angry. His shoulder brushed hers as he made way for the door, causing a shiver to go through his body. It could have been them at one time, but now it never would be.
The moment he walked through the door he apparated away, unaware that he'd left the coins on the counter.
