20 Days of Tuck

“I want to tell you something, Micah. You’re everything I need in life. The perfect guy. My better half. A part of me that I’ve always wanted.”


“Stop before you make my head swell.”


He reached out and touched one of my hands with his own, rubbing a few of my knuckles. “Seriously, Micah, you mean the world to me. A minute doesn’t go by during my days when I don’t think about you. You’re in my head when I play the piano, or practice, or go to bed at night.”


“I’m sure it’s horrible to think of me all the time.”


He shook his head. “It’s the complete opposite. I don’t think I’ve ever fallen for a guy as hard as I’ve fallen for you. I really didn’t believe it was possible.”


“You’re exaggerating,” I said. “Stop before you embarrass me. I’m not who you think I am.”


“Who?” I asked, putting him on the spot.
