The bus stop was empty as they came right after the bus left and they had twenty minutes to the next one. There was no one around to hear them, at least not right now, which is why Martin was free to finish his story. His heart trembled with anticipation as to what Ami thought about his current relationship with Steve. Martin really appreciated her opinion and advice. In no time, Ami became his truly close friend and confidant.
"Want to know what I think?" Ami asked.
"Of course!" Martin assured. She didn't have to ask that!
"I think he really likes you. I think he really, really likes you. He may run away from you and his feelings and he may deny them, but they are there. "
"I think so too," admitted Martin. "Sometimes I think I'm fooling myself, but Steve… I really feel that I am not indifferent to him. But what he went through with Hannah's accident ... Do you think he'll ever be able to change his attitude and accept his feelings? "
"If you don't give it up, I think so."
