"Sadie," he said while peeking over at me. "Yes?" I answered back and looked into his blue-green eyes. "What's your deepest fear?" He mumbled shyly. "Not having the permission to love," I admitted. After a minute of comfortable silence, I added: "It haunts me everyday, Jordan." He looked over at me and tears welled up in my eyes again. Before he could see a single drop come out, he hugged me. I heard his heartbeat and my own beat at the same time and my emotions overcame me. The calm wind blew in my damp face as I wept the last of my tears into Jordan's bare forearm.
