“I…wanted to say I’m sorry. For everything. From back then, to now. I never wanted to hurt ya, that was the last thing I wanted. I was stupid and didn’t get it. Now, I do now. I should have understood, but Val, I’m wiser now.”
Molly had then bit her bottom lip as she looked down at the ground for a second before looking back at Valerie.
“I haven’t been thinking straight lately, yes, but you’re the reason. You’re the most sweetest, smartest, beautiful woman I have ever met and to me, you’re an angel. What I’m trying to say is…I’m still crazy about ya.”
The brunette had closed her eyes as she feared to see her face.
“And I get it if you don’t feel the same. If you want me gone, I’ll go. I won’t bother ya anymore.”
Valerie wrung her hands together. ❝ If you really understand then...you should already know that I don’t...I don’t feel anything romantic. For you or for anyone. ❞
She couldn’t look Molly in the eyes, either. ❝ But...that doesn’t mean I don’t feel anything for you. I love you, Molly. I don’t want you to go. You’re my best friend, and...I just want to be with you. I want us to watch movies together, I want to rest my head on your shoulder while you sing for me, I want us to be close. I just don’t want...anything more than that. Is that selfish of me? ❞
