*ALORA* “What? He finally confessed his feelings for you?!” And that was Joan. I had met up with her at a restaurant the following day to tell her about what happened. “What do you mean finally?” “C’mon, girl, did you really not notice that he was in love with you? It was pretty obvious. The way he looks at you, like you’re his whole world.” My cheeks heated up. “Really? He looks at me like that?” “Of course.” I sighed. “It’s just…For the longest, I’ve been scared of falling in love, I’ve been scared of getting hurt. So I still have doubts about trusting him with my heart.” “I know. But I also know you feel something for him too. So instead of worrying about the unknown. Why don’t you go for it? Who knows? You might not get hurt.” **************** That night
