He was pretty damn convincing that he loathed me. But the minute he told me how he felt, it was like a switch flipped inside me. My heart tilted its gaze and thought, “oh, there he is.” I don’t know why I couldn’t see it before, but with each passing day, conversation, and intimate moment, it’s becoming clearer that there may truly be a lasting relationship between me and him. One that could surpass any I’ve ever had before, including the one I had with his best friend.
