Yuna's eyes went red, soft and vulnerable-a total contrast to how I'd ever dealt with feelings.
With both Jace and Hayden, I'd always been upfront, no games, no second-guessing.
But Yuna? She was cautious, showing just enough to hint at her feelings, then pulling back, like she was scared
to give too much away. Seeing her like this, | softened. "Did he say something that hurt you?"
She shook her head, barely. "He didn't rejectoutright, but ever since | told him... he hasn't cback -here
once."
Ouch. That was still rejection.
It was obvious Wade's heart was still stuck on Narelle,
"How many days has it been?" | asked, drumming my fingers lightly on the table.
"Three," she said, eyes misting up. "Honestly... | regret it. | regret telling him."
| frowned. "Why? Are you unsure how you feel?"
"No." Her nose turned pink as she held back tears. "I really like him. I just wish | hadn't said it... because now he
won't even look at me."

She dropped her gaze, nervously picking at the corner of her book. "If I'd known this would happen, | wouldn't
have told him. I'd rather just have him as a friend. Even if he doesn't like me, at least I'd still get to see him." Her
words were so honest, it hitjust how deep her feelings really went.
"These past three days... you've been waiting for him? It finally clicked why she'd trekked through the rain just to
sit here alone, hoping he'd show up.
"Mm-hmm."
Oh, Yuna.
| sighed internally, "You've been waiting all this time. Why not just call him?"
She bit her lip. "His phone's off."
| frowned. "Okay... what about texting?"
Her face crumpled. "He doesn't reply."
Phone off. No replies. That pretty much said it all.
Thinking about Wade still hung up on Narelle, | tried to ease her down gently. "Yuna, you've read enough
romance . You know what this means." Her eyes filled with tears. "But he was so kind to me. The way he
looked at me... there was love in his eyes. His eyes don't lie."
She was clinging to every little sign he'd given her, even if they were leading her nowhere.

"Maybe that's just the kind of guy he is," | said, trying to keep her grounded.
Yuna shook her head. "You don't get it. You haven't seen how he treats me. | told him about my heart surgery,
and he was always so careful. "Every twe'd read together, he'd remindto drink water, to rest, and when i
I was tto eat, he'd takeout.
"He always made sure | got hsafe. His care forfelt even more personal than Hayden's."
| frowned. If Wade was doing all that, then yeah, he'd definitely crossed skind of line.
But | still tried to keep her realistic.
"Maybe he was Lupe for
uid protHer Would. It doesn't
necessarily mean anything more."
