“Sometimes I look at you, overwhelmed by how good you are. By how I could ever believe the lies about you because deep down, you just … you make me happy. Your energy, being around you, I crave it. More than I’ve ever craved anyone. I want to be near you, Sanden. Always near you. Close. And not even sexually, which, hey, I want that too. But I’m not used to that being the second thing I think about when it comes to a man I like.”
