“Shh. You don’t have to say anything yet Amelia. I’m serious. Don’t forget that I’ve had the luxury of time to work through my feelings for you. I don’t want you to feel rushed and say something, just for the sake of saying it. If and when … scratch that.” I lock eyes with her. “When, you confess your feelings for me, I want to know that they’re coming from your heart, and not some stupid timeline or societal expectation. I’d rather wait as long as it takes to make sure we get it right this time, okay?”
