LET’s TALK

Maren watched as Miles sat down on the bed, his eyes fixed on hers. He gestured for her to come sit beside him, but Maren counted her steps, her mind racing with thoughts. 

Knowing he had discovered the truth for a while now, she wondered how he would react.

She stopped in front of him, her voice barely above a whisper. "If you are going to say anything, that will break my heart now. You shouldn't talk until after my show. If you want to break up, I understand. The few moments I have spent with you are enough for me."

Miles's expression changed, and he broke into a painful laughter. "You think that's all I feel for you?" he asked, his voice laced with anger.

"No… but.." He pulled her forward, pinning her to the bed as she grabbed her hands above her head, pinning them with one hand.

His eyes glistened, and gazed deeply into hers. "Is that how little you think of my feelings for you?"
