Bintuati
Then I walk away as I go sit under a tree next to the pool

swallows hard, his hands trembling Bintuati, I... I really like you. Like, more than just friends.
Bintuati

frowns, disappointment evident in his voice Oh... I see. Well, um, thanks for letting me know. I guess... I'll just leave you to it then.
