Who was it that led you on
And makes you want to hurt me so?
And makes you want to hurt me so?
Nervous was a bit of an understatement for poor Liam just now. Having found the courage to voice his desires, he quickly realized that he had no plan for whatever came next. If she denied him, what could he do other than find some excuse to flee, to find somewhere to lick his wounds in private whilst simultaneously trying not to let things between them change? And if she accepted him…
He was aware of the way she stared at him, surprise written across her pale features, but he forced himself not to lower his gaze. Whatever came next for them hinged on this moment, and he would not cower from it now that he’d voiced that which had taken root in his heart for longer, perhaps, than he would ever admit.
And then she smiled, radiant and beautiful, and Liam couldn’t help the answering grin as her words registered - that she might already feel some of what he felt for her was a revelation, and he was overcome with the sudden desire to laugh, because in what world would someone like Maea ever care for someone like him?
But here she was, saying just that.
And so he dropped his hand from her chin to cover hers, pulling her hand gently away from his thundering heartbeat to twine their fingers together. ”Truly?” he asked, unable to believe that this was where their evening had ended up, deciding that this must be a dream - but if it was, it was one from which he’d rather not wake.
