'And if I told you that I brought you here because I like you? Because I think one day I might fall in love with you? What would you say?' we came to a stop in traffic and he turned to look me in the eye as if daring me to lie. For a moment I almost did-for a moment I almost denied it so much I might have started to sob right there in his passenger seat. I might have lied even as he wrapped his arms around me, and I leaned in and begged him never to let me go, but I could not lie to those eyes. I couldn't hide my feelings, couldn't bottle it up and send it away. He didn't know me at all, but he suddenly knew me better than anyone else I had ever met in my entire life. How could someone be so honest, so bold? How could he be so sure of himself and sure of the future that he said whatever he wanted however he wanted without a care for anybody else's ideals, religion, or morality? How could I tell him I envied him without giving him too much ground?
