"I… I like you a little bit, but I'm sure these feelings will dwindle down over time, so you don't have to worry about it. I just thought you should know," she rushed out the words. Abruptly, she concluded, "My package is here," using it as an excuse to leave the room, leaving him with her shared thoughts hanging in the air.
He felt bewildered upon hearing those unexpected words. "Really?" he uttered in a mix of surprise and confusion, exhaling deeply as he tried to process it all. He reflected, "I said I wasn't going to," but the past couple of days had left him feeling lost. Emotions were tangled, and honestly, he admitted to himself, "I think I share these feelings too."
Yet, uncertainty lingered, and he found himself at a loss for what to do. "I... I," he stuttered, sighing in frustration, grappling with his emotions.
He stood there in the room, grappling with a decision. Should he reveal his feelings now or wait? Uncertainty weighed heavily on his mind.
