I mean, I knew Jimmy and I wouldn't work out in a touchy feely way, but he was a good distraction for a while."
Her head was moving closer to his, which made her blink. "You're not babbling like an idiot. Just ... I've liked you too. I just didn't want to admit it, because if you said you didn't like me, it would've actually hurt, and I'm kind of a pussy."
