Nevaeh had not meant to say that out loud but it had fallen off her lips without her realizing it. Her big glistening eyes gazed at him as he did her.
"I –I" She stuttered. She had seen the pained look on his face when she said that. It was as if he had expected her to say that. But she was sure he didn't understand her words. She wasn't scared of him, she was scared of how he made her feel. She was scared of how she felt about him. How he made her toes curl when he looked at her the way he was doing right now. How he easily makes every of her resolve crumble to the ground at a glimpse of his eyes.
All these were what scared her.
They both stared at each other in silence, but Nevaeh could swear he wanted to say something.
