Now, some of you might have heard some craaaaazy rumours that shaman can read minds, but I'd like to stress that (in this fic at least), this is NOT TRUE! Naboo will have to work this one out the ol' fashioned way..
'I wouldn't pay too much attention to it if I were you.'
But how could he not? Tara had told him she loved him. Admittedly, she'd been given a mixture of rohypnol and some sleeping drug, and had fallen straight back to sleep after saying it, but still.
Did Tara love him? He certainly knew how he felt about her, especially after tonight, but that didn't tell him how she felt. Even if she did love him, that didn't necessarily mean that she was in love with him. He'd heard her say that she loved Howard before now, but that didn't mean that she was in love with him. At least, he hoped it didn't. Otherwise he was in real trouble.
What to do? Was the doctor right, that he shouldn't pay any attention to it? Was it not true? If she didn't remember what she'd said and he told her, would it be horribly awkward if it wasn't true? Or would they be able to laugh it off somehow?
On the other hand, what if she did remember saying it, and had said it on purpose? That would surely mean that it was true. She might just have been waiting for the right time to say it, and if he didn't mention it, she might not say it again, those words which had made him feel so great. Three words, which magically elevated a couple from simply being in a relationship to being In Love.
Naboo sighed a little. Vince looked across the carpet at him, but didn't say anything as Naboo seemed deep in thought. He wondered just how much damage Naboo could do to this bloke. Or, realistically, how much he was prepared to do, or allowed to, without being fired or punished by the Board of Shaman.
Short chapter I know, I promise I'll make it up to you with the next (final) one! Please reivew!
