Eva awaited Lucas' return as the morning stretched into the afternoon. She had finally made up her mind.
She was going to ask him about the secrets he was keeping from her.
A creeping sense of anxiety filled her chest, making it somewhat difficult to take a breath.
No, she would just need to ask him with confidence.
The only thing that stopped her up until now was that she didn't want to reveal the feelings in her heart, but now that she had confessed…
'No, it should be ok. I agreed to respect his decision not to do anything about our feelings for each other.'
She clasped and unclasped her hands. When did her hands get so sweaty?
"What are you doing?"
Eva looked up with a start. Somehow Lucas had managed to sneak up on her again.
His eyes looked straight at the strange exercise her hands had been doing. Eva bit her lip before answering.
"I have a question."
