Audrey blinked repeatedly trying to comprehend the three words he just heard. 'He just said he loved me!', Audrey thought as her facial expression showed no reaction.
Seconds soon turned minutes and Audrey hadn't even said a word, Lucas had already started beating himself about even confessing.
'Maybe I shouldnt have told her. Is it too much for her?', Lucas asked himself as he squeezed Audrey's hands one more time.
"Hey, hey, look at me!", Lucas called, tickling her palms to get her attention. "I just said it, you really don't need to think about it!", Lucas said, going around the table to hug her.
"I won't force you to say it back, I won't rush you or anything alright?", Lucas wanted to confirm that Audrey was cool with what he mentioned. Audrey nodded her head, despite the turmoil in her heart.
" How about we head back and we could go somewhere later!", Lucas suggested and Audrey nodded again. (Oh how the tables turned!).
