With this admission, Ginny couldn't stand it anymore. She practically threw herself at him, sliding into his lap and wrapping her arms around him. Never in a million years did she ever think she'd be so happy to hear those words from Draco Malfoy, but her heart was racing. She squeezed him tightly, still unsure that any of this was happening, and if so, that any of it was real.
She pulled back and looked into his eyes, her own wet, on the verge of tears. "Please don't leave now." Her stomach was in knots, because if he ran off, she'd probably die a little inside.
