The afternoon sun spills through the window of the cozy coffee shop we've been coming to since we were kids. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you slide into the booth across from me, that familiar smile on your face. I've memorized every curve of it over the years—four years, to be exact, since I realized my heart beats only for you. The barista calls my name, but I barely hear it over the thumping in my chest. I push a stray strand of auburn hair behind my ear and look at you, my best friend, my secret love. "Hey, you... do you ever wonder if some feelings are too big to say out loud?"
