There was something comforting in all the ways Naveen could make Claudette feel warm and at peace once she spoke to him. Unbeknownst to Claudette their relationship was built on lies. After spending so much time with Naveen though Claudette truly thought she knew who he truly was. He was kind, supportive, and always had a gentle touch, especially when she needed it most like now. The light kiss he left on the top of her head only had her wanting his touch more. She pressed her forehead against his chest for a moment and sighed. She felt so small compared to his height and looked up at him as she reached to wrap her arms around his neck. “I think you misunderstood me. It’s not you who is borrowing my heart. That would make this much less complicated then, wouldn’t they?” She couldn’t help but to smile at him. Maybe in another world, one without Gaston (though that’s not a life she could have ever imagined for herself,) Naveen could have been something more to her. Something different. The idea had crossed her mind before but her heart belonged to Gaston, no matter how many times she tried to see others in that light her mind always wandered back to him. Naveen was one of the only few people that could make her forget though, just for a little bit, and make her feel as if all were well in the world. “I would never think about you like that, Naveen.” She was almost hurt that he would ever think she was insinuating such a thing. “You’re special to me and you always will be.” She pulls herself a bit closer to the other, embracing the warmth he was giving off. “You are right about something though. Once you lend your heart to someone the whole thing is never returned in the same condition it was given.”
