I thought about it for a moment.
"Well… I kinda invited him to come over to spend the night to spend more time with us." I said.
"Oh really?" Clara asked, sounding surprised. "That's pretty bold of you! What made you decide to do that?"
"Well, you know how I told you that we've been texting and talking on the phone a lot?" I said.
"Yeah, you said he's been very sweet and attentive," she said.
"Well, it's more than that," I said. "It's like...he just gets me. I feel like I can be myself around him and he doesn't judge me or try to change me. He just accepts me for who I am."
"That's so beautiful," Clara said, her voice filled with emotion. "I'm so happy for you, Leah. It sounds like he's really special."
"He is," I said, my heart feeling light. "I just hope that inviting him over won't backfire on me."
"Why would it?" she asked. "If he's as great as you say he is, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to spend time with you and Lana."
