"Oh I had no idea that you heard that," he says sincerely.
"Well I did, so we can just leave it at that and you can go home." I say. I really don't want him to go, but I don't know what else to say. Of course I'm upset that he has moved on and I haven't.
"I can't leave until I know how you feel about me."
"What do you mean 'how I feel about you'?" I say with anger in my voice. I know perfectly well how I feel about him, and he doesn't need to know how I feel. I know that I am still in love with him, but I could never tell Tom that, he'd think that I was a fool.
"I mean, what you feel towards me, do you still have feelings for me?" he asks as if he has no idea how I feel. But I can tell that he knows.
"What are you trying to do by making me tell you that I still love you? Are you trying to humiliate me?" I say almost in tears.
"No I wouldn't do that, and you know that. I just want to know why you can't just let go."
"It's not that I can't, I don't want to let go. I still love you, but the saddest thing is that you will never be mine again." I say trying my hardest to fight back tears.
"Well I still love you too." He says and I'm sure if he is just messing with me or he is telling the truth.
"No you don't, your married you have a new life, there is no way you could still love me." I say not knowing what else to say.
"Yes, I do," he says truly, "Heather saw you at the wedding and I think that is when she realized that I wasn't in love with her, but with you. She told me that she knows that I love you. And it took her telling me, for me to realize that it's true." Tom says and I finally start to cry. And he holds me and says, "I will never let go."
