“I mean that I love you, Erica.” He took another step toward me and reached out to cup my face. “I think I’ve been in love with you ever since you danced like a fool to no music at the Scoreboard. But I didn’t want to admit it. I told myself my feelings weren’t real, that I was confusing them with friendship. And then I screwed up by not making it clear to you that Isela and I weren’t back together. We’re not. Because even though I convinced myself I couldn’t have you, I still didn’t want anyone else.”
AHHHHHHH
