I Don't Want to Fall...

[Eilis Hooligan]

Looking at Yaz as he drew his head back, Eilis still wasn't quite sure what to say. He had thought she would leave? Eilis could see why he might have thought that. She would have thought the same if she had been the first to confess, truth be told. Especially when one considered his reaction to the mere possibility. But it looked like it had happened anyway despite what they'd both said. It was sort of amusing and proved even more that hearts weren't things people could actually control.

"I thought you wouldn't ever love me," she admitted in return to his confession. "I mean, you freaked out at the mere thought before. Guess love is one of those things people can't control, like the ocean waves." She then had to laugh slightly at the poetic sound of her own words. Maybe she really should try her hand at being an author.

Leaning towards him, she whispered into his ear because she was actually a bit afraid to actually say the words out loud. "I love you, Yaz."
