#Chapter99
Well, that’s a fine mess
Elias
After I calmed Tori down, we talked. I didn’t want miscommunication between us.
/"Look, our ideas were wrong, but I would never discard your feelings. I know you felt crushed when you heard me say you’re like a kid sister to me. I wish I would have never said it./"
/"It’s hard when you like someone because of how they treat you. You would listen to me when others ignored me. You know my likes and dislikes. I felt special./" Tori sniffled with her head down.
/"You are special. Never think you aren’t./"
Tori lifted her head with tear-streaked cheeks. I brushed her tears away with my thumb.
/"Did you mean what you said? About falling in love with me?/"
/"Yes./" I nodded my head. /"Did you mean what you said?/"
/"More than you know./"
/"Oh, I do because I see it on your face./"
