Barry.
[Maybe their friendship is a little broken right now, along with her heart and her plans for the future, and she still doesn't trust him like she used to. She doesn't see Barry like she did a month ago and that's just going to take time to get used to. He loves her. He's the Flash. She loves him. He's her best friend.
