My heart pattered in my chest, skipping like a happy child. Warmth swept through me as my declaration of love slipped through the mind link.
I hadn’t realized it was true until the words came out but I knew now that it was.
Grinning like a fool, I imagined the look on Mila’s face when hearing my confession and my heart raced even faster. I was like a teenage boy confessing love to a girl for the first time. One so far out of my league that I could only hope for her to return my feelings.
The only difference, in this case, was that I was fairly certain Mila did return my feelings. She wouldn’t have been so pissed at me about the picture if she didn’t.
As I waited for her to reply, my heart raced and my palms were clammy, just like a nervous little pup.
She never responded.
“Mila?”
