Merlin's Mushrooms... it would just be so much easier if she wanted him as badly as he wanted her. There would be no more awkward silence between them. No more hiding his looks of longing so that she wouldn't catch him staring.

He could actually tell her how he felt for once instead of stuffing it deep down inside and pretending that things were just the same as they'd always been. If only he could be so lucky as to have her feel as strongly for him as he felt for her.

"I want you to want me." She would think to him as she sat across the table from him every evening, though he never seemed to hear her.
Dear sweet goodness... it would just be so much easier if he wanted her as badly as she wanted him. There would be no more awkward silence between them. No more hiding her looks of longing so that he wouldn't catch her staring.

Things would be simpler if he reciprocated her desires. She could actually tell him how she felt for once instead of hiding it away in the deepest regions of her heart and pretending that things were just the same as they'd always been. If only she could be so lucky as to have him feel as strongly for her as she felt for him.
