Watching in shock as Gordy took Jamil’s large hand in his own, saying, “Oh Jamil, I have never meant anything as much as I mean that. You prove how wonderful you are with not only words but with actions. You brought me beautiful flowers, and from what Gunner said, you were even willing to defy the leader of Drago to come to me. I know you know how shy I am, and how difficult I find it to talk to people, but you’re always so patient with me. You’ve made me look at myself, and I’m not saying I see what you do, but I promise to try, because you see it in me, but you have to promise to try and see what I see in you, too.” Gripping Jamil’s hands tightly, he said with an intensity that even Gunner felt, “You are beautiful, Jamil.”
“O… Okay.” Jamil said, barely able to get the one word out.
