The Ways He Loves Me

“I love you as a friend, Nat. I love you as a sister. I love you as a neighbor, a school mate, and a dozen other things. I simply want to know if I love you as a girl, and maybe if you can love me in return.”

-----

Nadia Asbury knows everything about Paterson Radovich, his likes and dislikes, what viruses and injuries he’s had, and every Christmas present he’s received since they were ten. He is, after all, her best friend.

When he asks her on a date though, she wonders if she knows him at all. She’s not familiar with his new, romantic side and frightened of what might happen to their long-standing friendship.

What if after all his efforts, she doesn’t feel anything? Scarier still, what if she does?
