"What I Can't Take Back" You weren't supposed to notice him the way you do. Not him, of all people, not when everything about wanting him could cost you more than you're ready to lose. But you feel it every time he's near. The way his voice drops low when it's just the two of you, like he's choosing every word carefully so it doesn't give too much away. The way his hand hovers close to yours sometimes, close enough to touch, never quite closing the distance like he's waiting for you to be the one who finally does. You've told yourself this is nothing, for months now. Your body keeps calling you a liar, your pulse racing every time his eyes hold yours a second too long, breath catching every time he leans in close enough that you can feel the warmth off his skin. You know exactly what this could cost you both. You've counted the cost a hundred times, alone, at night, and every single time you reach the same reckless conclusion You'd risk it anyway. #mlm #writingcommunity #slowburnromance
