#Chapter119
/"I had wanted nothing else for so long./" I choke back tears. /"I was so scared I would just be another conquest … A good time … That I’d lose you, my job, our friendship … I was terrified./" Tears blur my eyes and I choke on the lump forming in my throat. He leans up, brushing hair away from my face, tracing my mouth with his fingers carefully.
/"I wish I’d told you so many times how I really felt, I wish I had just come out and said I love you, Emma. I’m in love with you./" His voice strained with emotion and my heart swells painfully. /"If I had, we could have avoided so much heartache. So much craziness between us./" His gaze holds so much regret I can’t bear it.
Jake really loves me. As much as I love him.
Every time this realization hits me it takes my breath away and I want to pinch myself in case it’s a dream.
