takes a step closer, looking into Douglas's eyes I know it's a lot to take in, but... I can't keep pretending anymore.
takes a deep breath I... I really meant it when I said I enjoyed spending time with you. I... I actually miss you when you're not around... and... and it just feels right when I'm with you. I know it's sudden and maybe even a little strange, but... I can't help how I feel. I just... I had to tell you the truth.
