“The timing was never right before. You were too young for me, and then when you weren’t, you were gone. The time is right now, and I’m not stupid enough to walk away from you. However, if this isn’t what you want, I need you to spell it out for me so I don’t waste any more of your time.” I frown. “You would do that? You’d walk away if I told you to?” “It would fucking suck, but yeah, I would. Because you deserve everything good in this life, and that includes being with someone that you choose to be with.” Holy. Swoon. “So, no more friend zone.” “I fucking hate the goddamn friend zone.”
