Billy was really glad for the water because in the few seconds from asking
his question and when Isabelle answered his mouth felt REALLY dry and he
took several huge gulps of water from the glass. His heart was also
pounding so hard that he could hear it in his ears. It was weird because
he wasn't worried about her saying 'no'. If she said 'no' that would suck
but what he really worried about was her being upset or insulted or
something. Billy didn't want to lose Isabelle as a friend.
When she asked about Steph he felt a weird sort of lurch in his chest. It
was a fair question and he didn't want her to think she was just a rebound
or something. Then he had a bit of whiplash when she said she would love
to go on a date with him but didn't think he was interested and his head
felt a bit feint. Was that a yes? He was pretty sure that was a yes.
"I- uh- it- " he said, taking another drink as he tried to sort out his
thoughts. "For me Steph left months ago. About half a year. Even if I
only imagined going home I really experienced months and months life and...
Steph was special and I was crazy about her but she's been gone for a while
for me and I've moved on. And of course I want to go out with you! You're
one of the kindest, bravest, funniest, cleverest, most beautiful people I
have ever met. You just- you're kind of so amazing you break my brain so I
probably come off as some sort of idiot when I'm around you."
