Emanuel looked at Nathalie for a long moment before saying, "I won't keep anything from you."
Nathalie felt a sudden unease in her heart, but she tried to ignore it. She couldn't help the fluttering feeling that came with it.
"Really?" Nathalie asked. "You don't have anything else to hide from me?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Nathalie regretted them. What was she doing? Wasn't she just digging herself into a hole?
Sure enough, Emanuel replied with a simple "yes."
Nathalie had no choice but to say, "If you tell me now, I'll try not to be mad."
"I'm not sure if you want to hear it," Emanuel said.
Inwardly, Nathalie pleaded with him not to say anything. But outwardly she said, "I'm curious. You know I am."
"I like you," Emanuel finally admitted.
Nathalie was speechless and wanted nothing more than to slap herself for starting this conversation in the first place.
What should she do now? She had suspected his feelings all along but didn't know how to respond.
She bit down on her lip hard enough that it hurt and hoped it would calm her down. But then Emanuel's hand gripped her chin and forced her mouth open.
"Don't bite your lip," he said softly.
