Hannah POV I sat there in silence, my thoughts swirling in a chaotic mess as Christian’s words echoed in my mind. The room felt suddenly too small, the dim lighting casting shadows that seemed to mirror the confusion and uncertainty inside me. I could feel Christian’s gaze on me, heavy with the weight of everything he had just confessed, but I couldn’t bring myself to meet his eyes. I was too stunned, too overwhelmed. Christian had just told me he had feelings for me—feelings he’d been hiding for who knows how long. I had always seen him as a reliable colleague, someone who was kind, supportive, and easy to talk to. But I had never imagined that his kindness ran deeper than just friendship. And now, knowing the truth, I didn’t know what to think. It changed everything.
