Paul stopped walking, he didn't know why he felt so heavy and awkward but he knew that he was grateful. He didn't understand why might want more...? But he was grateful.
So he turned around "you do know that right?"
Katherine looked up at him in confusion. "Huh?"
"That you are one of the most important people in my life." He stated.
'This is it! Tell him!' "Paul..." shs started softly. "I-"
"Our friendship... your friendship is what keeps me at times and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Never stop being my friend Katherine, promise?" He asked with a soft smile.
And she froze, she couldn't breathe! She felt hot and cold all together and tears burned her eyes, fighting to spill out and a lump formed in her throat. She couldn't breathe!
And yet... she couldn't cry, she couldn't cry! 'Damn it, don't cry Katherine don't cry! How will you explain that to him?!" She pleaded internally.
