WOLF'S POV
There it was. It was pathetic really. A hedged confession, as if that helped me to back out if she wasn't interested.
It was the equivalent of, 'if you like me, then I like you too'. Was I still in grade school? I mentally kicked myself.
I pictured myself saying what I wanted to say; 'No Araminta, it's not all I want from you. I'll never be satisfied just being friends. I want to love you the way a good man should love a woman. I want you to love me back. Can you do it?'
Too late… The clumsy words had already been spoken and they lay between us like a grenade with the pin removed.
She looked at me and smiled. That seemed like a good sign? Or was she laughing at my clumsy words?
"What's that meant to mean?" she asked me. "Do you want more than friendship with me, or not?"
Oh! So painful. I had already said that I did! I would take Baer's heavy punches over this agonising conversation any day of the week.
