32.  “I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.”

She shivered, pulling her jacket more tightly around her slight frame as she hurried through the damp night.  She couldn’t talk to him right now.

“Spencer we’re running buddies.  You know that I’m faster than you.  Just wait!”

She cringed, his voice just behind her like some kind of phantom she couldn’t shake… maybe it was one she didn’t really want to shake.  “I can’t do this right now.”

He turned her around, always so gently, and peered into her eyes.  “What are you talking about, Spence?  I don’t understand.”

What was the point of holding it in any more?  Especially when he looked at her like that, like he was pulling every secret she had out of her eyes.  “I think I’m in love with you, and it scares the shit out of me.”

For a long second he didn’t say anything, but just as she thought her heart might stop he leaned in and brushed his lips over hers.  “You idiot,” he whispered huskily as he smiled against her.

thank you! this is beautiful.
