The Art of Knowing

"But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that he'd always thought it'd be Layla, somewhere down the line. Well, he hadn't always thought it outright, but subconsciously…yeah, it had been her almost as long as he'd known her. That's why he hadn't kissed her, after all. He'd wanted her to be around longer than one night." Originally written for Ollivander's Challenge.
