Jacob takes a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly WhisperingWillow, I...I love you.

she gasps
Jacob's eyes search WhisperingWillow's face for a reaction, his heart pounding in his chest I know I'm not the easiest person to be with, and I'm a mess most of the time, but you...you make me feel things I never thought I could feel. You make me want to be better, to be the person you deserve. So, please...tell me you feel the same way. As Jacob waits for WhisperingWillow's response, his heart pounds in his chest, his whole existence hanging in the balance. The anticipation is excruciating, and he can't help but wonder if he has just made a huge mistake by opening up to her.
