Isn’t it always those last few seconds when that old familiar panic explodes in your stomach and you avert your gaze so that he can’t see your too-bright eyes. When you feel that fluttering wishful bird caged in your chest beating its wings and straining to break free. When suddenly, you feel like a child [...]
