I wasn’t ready. I hadn’t prepared what I wanted to say to him. And yet, by simply being close to him, it was like a weight had been taken off my shoulders. It was only in seeing him that I realized I didn’t need more time to consider if I wanted to take a risk on Matthias. My heart was telling me all I needed to know. I loved him and I wanted him. It was worth the possible rejection. He was worth it.
