This is an awesome story, @itsostylish. It is full of dramatic tension. The subject of what's really transpiring in the minds and hearts of two people of the opposite sex is a natural forum for creating that tension. And you do so expertly — drawing us in, building the suspense. The pay-off is perfect.

I bet you could make a fortune if you decided to write romance novels. (I hear you scoffing! Ha ha.) Have you ever read anything by Colleen Hoover? I'm going to read one of her books, as she is highly acclaimed. It's neat to see someone taking that genre to the next level!
