Chapter 25

Eva

By the time we reached my home I was still reeling from my realization. I stepped out with him opening the car door for me before leading me out onto the doorstep.

“So, I guess this is it for tonight.” He smiled.

I nodded, yet for the first time a lump formed in my throat as I looked at him. Usually I had no problems bidding him goodbye but this time, Hesitation gripped me. I didn't want him to leave. Not like this.

We stood in awkward silence, looking at each other. My heart raced inside my chest. Was I thinking too hard about this?

“I guess this is goodnight.” He broke the silence again and I nodded.

“Yeah. Goodnight.” I breathed out, yet I still made no move towards the door.

My mind was running like a racecar as I kept thinking hard. Now that I was sure about my feelings, it felt like a huge barrier between me and him was broken. I didn't want to let him go, yet I didn't know if I could take the final step. What was the right choice? Should I keep my distance or let it flow.
