Just like you put your heart in mine. I'm," she cleared her throat, mostly of emotion, "sorry I couldn't take better care of it so far. But you have mine, too. My heart," Eva pointed to Eric gently, "and somehow, I feel his connection in my soul." It was very conflicting. But also not at all.
Finally, she gathered the courage to attempt taking the fair-eyed man's fingers with hers. "I haven't said anything to him like this. So there's a chance you're both going to ghost me," she smirked, but truly understood that it was a real possibility and consequence. "I wanted to see you and talk to you about it first." She sighed and squeezed his fingers. "Because I can't keep my life on pause through this mess. It hurts too much."
