I reached for her arm instinctively, but she smoothly evaded my touch with a subtle step backward.
“Anna, can’t you give me some encouragement?” My voice took on a desperate edge. “My family is sabotaging my career. I need you to strengthen my resolve.
“Let’s not talk about this now. I’ll take you to eat first.”
“Fuck that! I’m not hungry!” I snapped, my frustration boiling over. “One word from you means more than ten Michelin star meals?
Anna’s eyes hardened. “Seth, you’re not a child anymore. Can you be more realistic? I’ve never once said 1 liked you, yet you’re willing to turn againes your family for me? What do you want me to say? Encourage you to keep fighting with the Prices? Don’t be foolish–it’s not worth it.”
“It’s worth it because I say it’s worth it!” I fired back, blood rushing to my face. “If my family doesn’t approve, that’s their problem, not mine! I’d give up everything for you. Rebuilding my career wouldn’t be that hard! You’ve never said you liked me–but is it so difficult to say it once? Am I that worthless to you?”
My voice grew louder, emotions spilling out uncontrollably. “We’ve known each other since we were kids, but your social media doesnt mention me ance. In your heart, am I just not as good as Blake Wright?”
“That’s not it…” Anna’s voice softened. “You can’t even protect your own career. How would you protect me? As a man, you need to become stronger first…”
“Don’t give me that bullshit!” I cut her off. “Since I was old enough to understand, no woman has ever measured up to you. I love getting under your skin and arguing with you–isn’t that what liking someone means? Isn’t my feelings for you enough? What obstacle can’t we overcome together?”
Suddenly, I dropped to my knees and wrapped my arms around her legs, looking up at her with tears threatening to spill. “I’ve always liked you, Anna, Always.”
Her expression shifted, conflict visible in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly as she gazed down at me, something softer breaking through her composed facade.
“Get up,” she said quietly. I promise I’ll seriously consider our relationship. Just give me some time.”
Her fingertips brushed my shoulder–the lightest touch that sent electricity through my body. In that moment, I knew I’d finally broken through her walls.

Joy exploded inside me. I jumped up and crushed her in another hug, squeezing so tight I was afraid she might not be able to breathe
