WINTER'S POV
I can't believe I just said that. I mean, I know my feelings for him were strong, but I didn't expect for me to blurt it out like that. The most humiliating part was that it was as clear as day. There was no hiding from it.
"What did you just say?" His hands found mine on the table and tightened his hold on them. "I heard you so there's no need to pretend you didn't say it."
"I..." My eyes looked everywhere but at his. "I..."
"Baby, look at me." He implored softly.
"I am looking at you." He chuckled.
"Sure, my eyes are on the table."
"I didn't..."
He cut in. "Cara," and like that we were back to my old nickname from Italy. "Don't insult us both like that. Don't tell me you didn't mean it."
"Fine," I huffed. "I meant it like that. I just didn't mean to say it now."
