Before Nat answered Stacy, she rapidly thought about what she should say:
Damn! She picks up on my feelings so quickly. I'd been hoping that this
critical
point wouldn't come up before the full moon, but it has. I think I have to
tell the truth now, more or less; she'd detect a blatant lie. I only hope
I don't frighten
her off - for two reasons now, not just the one I started with.
Then she spoke: "Well, I've never been able to tell you this before, but I'm scared, and I have to. I love you, and I hope you feel the same way." "I see," said Stacy, not really surprised. "And?" Nat asked, her nervousness evident in her voice. "And I'm going to have to think about it. I can't give you an answer straight away. I'm not sure yet how I feel. After all, it's not every day that someone declares their love for you." "Well, that's fair enough. But whatever decision you come to, we can still be friends, can't we?" Nat's voice had an anxious, pleading quality to it. It seemed to Stacy that their roles had somehow reversed. Suddenly it seemed to be Nat who was the dependent one.
