Wyonna didn't see that coming, so she was dumbfounded again. "What... What did you say?"
Thankfully, nobody was around. It was weird enough.
"I said, I adore you," Jack repeated seriously. "I still remember the first day I met you. You just came to my class. When you introduced yourself and smiled at classmates, I had a crush on you. I never courted girls before, so I had no idea how to approach you. Then Chloe and you became friends. I was thrilled and seized the opportunity to be your friend. The longer I spend with you, the more I adore you. I like your simplicity, honesty, and kindness.
I was thinking about telling you my feelings, but I was afraid that our friendship would end once you declined me. It's a paradox. I pretend to be your friend, but I love you to death.
