Mysteries Around Him

“W-What do you mean?” I stammer as my heart pounds in my chest. My stomach twists in knots as I await her response.


“You totally like him, don’t you?”


Abby’s words throw me off guard and I lean back in my seat, my breath hitching in my throat. I find River insanely attractive, mysterious, intriguing, stunning, charming, and very likable. But do I like him? I mean…that’s crazy, right? I swallow hard as I try to decipher what this tight feeling in my chest means as I ponder the idea.


“I, well…no. I don’t know!” I throw my hands in the air out of exasperation and gauge Abby’s reaction as she smiles at me. “I don’t know what this feeling is, Abby. Am I being crazy?”
