"Did you want to stay the night?" I asked, praying I didn't sound too hopeful.

But I was hopeful.

I wanted her under my roof.

Under my care.

"Is anyone else home?" She asked, blushing that sweet pink I loved so much.

"No…there was a conference." I said, suddenly feeling nervous that she could see right through me.

Did she know?

Did she notice the way I looked at her?

The way my eyes followed her every move.

Did she see the flash of green in my eyes when he would hold her?

Touch her?

Kiss her?

Hmmm.

I wonder.
