"Merlin," whispered Draco as he stared back over at her, his heart pounding hard against his chest the entire time. "I'm..." he murmured quietly, the blood rushing through his veins. "I think you've got me falling in love with you too." His eyes closed, unable to actually look at her once that admission was out.
The fact that she was willing to love him, just for him was almost too much. He did want to run again, but Draco knew he couldn't this time. He wanted to stay. He wanted this. Merlin, he wanted her so badly.
