Eva was not expecting that. I love you. Sure he had said it to her a few times before, but it was nothing like what he just said to her. This time, there was something different. Something deeper than him just loving her as a friend. Her heart skipped a beat and she was for once...at a loss of words. "Thomas...." She murmured softly, looking at their hands intertwined.
Did she feel the same way? Yes. But could they entertain the thought of taking this any further than just being friends? It was hard to. Like he just said, his parents would never approve of her being with Thomas. They hated her already, thinking that she was some sort of wench who slept around with just about anyone. Then there was the rest of the world. Who was just as harsh as his parents. They would ask what he sees in her, rumors might be spread to explain why he even loves her....Could she handle that?
Her eyes looked back up at his face. "I love you too." She said after a few moments of silence...and a small smile formed on her face. Hesitantly, she scooted towards him and lifted his arm up so that it wrapped behind her back. She then rested her head on his chest and sighed softly. "You know what people are going to say yes?" She asked softly.
