Maeve’s POV
I held my breath in anticipation for his reaction to my confession. We had both spent too much time pushing each other away and now was finally our moment, our moment to finally be together
A cloud of uncertainty washed over me as he stood frozen beside me, still watching the cars retreat down the road. Had he heard me?
“Ashton-” I started but he spoke over me
“Say it again” he said breathlessly
Blushing furiously as he turned around, my throat felt too dry to speak
“please” he begged, “I need to know I didn’t imagine that”
“I love you, Ash-”. I was once again interrupted but this time because Ashton pulled me to his chest and lifted me, spinning me around. His face was beaming as he looked up at me, holding me by my waist
Slowly, he let my feet gently touch the ground
