CHAPTER 28 You're Testing Me

  Dana POV

  "I want to start a new life with you. I want to experience what it feels like to be loved by someone who truly cares for me..." I whispered, allowing the words to flow from my heart and mind, knowing that I was speaking sincerely.

  I didn't want to utter empty words; I was conveying my genuine feelings to him. Despite my hands trembling with nervousness, I remained steadfast in my truthfulness.

  He pulled me closer, holding me tightly against his body. His words were filled with disbelief as he shook his head. "This feels like a dream..." he murmured, his hand slipping away from me.

  "It feels like we've just met, and I don't want you to feel pressured or forced to like me back-" he began, but I interrupted him, reaching out to touch him in return. Despite the uncertainty, I felt a sense of comfort in his presence, and as our eyes met, I confessed, "I already told you what I feel, Bathel. I like you too."
