Derek held Susan's hand as he slept on her thighs. She stroked his hair gently with her other hand and thought,
'In the end, I couldn't bring it up.' She looked outside the window. 'But what did he mean a third time? Did it have to do with that memory I saw concerning the eclipse?'
Her thoughts were busy and she looked down at him. His words replayed in her head and she blushed. She looked outside the window and fleet her heart exhilarate.
She didn't know for sure what she was feeling. Was it concern or worry? Her heart was beating really fast to the extent she was scared it would wake Derek up. She took another glance at his face and wondered, was she having feelings for him?
His constant concern over her safety and his constant pleas to not get hurt made her have feelings she couldn't understand.
Was it love? She couldn't tell. It wasn't like she had fallen in love before. She had zero experience in love and dating. She let out a sigh.
